AI Article Synopsis
- * This report discusses a case of pancreatic cancer that spread to the lungs, presenting as multiple cavitary lesions, which needed to be distinguished from similar lung issues related to Sjögren's syndrome.
- * Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) was used in this case, as it can provide larger tissue samples for more accurate pathological analysis of complex lung lesions.
Article Abstract
Multiple cavitary pulmonary metastases are rare, and cavitary lung lesions have various aetiologies and differential diagnoses. Therefore, radiological diagnosis of lung cavities is extremely difficult. Herein, we report a case of pancreatic cancer with multiple cavitary pulmonary metastases diagnosed using transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC), that required differentiation from pulmonary lesions of Sjögren's syndrome whose pulmonary manifestation may present as bronchiectasis and cystic change. TBLC may be useful for the diagnosis of multiple lesions because sufficiently large specimens can be obtained to allow pathological evaluation of the lung parenchyma and bronchiolar lesions.

A 9-year-old neutered male cairn terrier dog was initially presented because of inappetence, increased respiratory effort, and occasional coughing. A cavitary lung mass was diagnosed using CT and removed with lung lobectomy. Histopathology of the mass revealed necrosuppurative inflammation with acid-fast rod bacteria in macrophages, with spp.

Extra-cavitary primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), often associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) infection, represents a rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is predominantly found in individuals with severe immunosuppression. As an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated lymphoma, PEL typically manifests in the context of advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, requiring tailored therapeutic approaches to manage both the lymphoma and underlying immunodeficiency. A 53-year-old male patient from Cape Verde presented with a three-day history of fever, night sweats, right iliac fossa pain, hematochezia, and an unintentional weight loss of five kilograms over the previous two months.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disorder with both articular and extra-articular manifestations, including rare pulmonary complications. We report a case of a 65-year-old male with long-standing RA who developed multiple cavitary pulmonary nodules following prolonged leflunomide therapy. Diagnostic evaluation excluded infectious, neoplastic, and autoimmune causes.

Invasive aspergillosis (IA) significantly increases mortality in critically ill patients in the ICU and its occurrence is closely related to immunocompromise. Dissemination of IA is easily misdiagnosed and mistreated due to its ability to invade multiple systems throughout the body and lack of typical clinical manifestations. In this case, a 25-year-old previously healthy woman was hospitalized with fulminant myocarditis and treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support and intravenous acyclovir, high-dose methylprednisolone, and immunoglobulin.
