Enlargement of hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes commonly accompanies a lung abcess. Of 27 patients with lung abscesses, 14 had hilar or mediastinal adenopathy or both. The problem resolved promptly with clearing of the abcesses and was absent on clinical and radiographic follow-up.

The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has transformed the management of advanced and high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In the adjuvant setting, ICIs, such as pembrolizumab, aim to reduce the risk of recurrence following potentially curative nephrectomy. However, this therapeutic approach introduces unique challenges, particularly related to immune-related adverse events (irAEs).

: This study investigates the prevalence of calcification in mediastinal lymph nodes among sarcoidosis patients and the influencing factors. Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating epithelioid granulomas. Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy (LAP) is the most common radiographic finding, with studies showing a correlation between the frequency of lymph node calcification and disease duration, with a frequency of 3% relating to a duration of 5 years and a frequency of 20% relating to one of 10 years.

Background: Lymphadenectomy is considered a key part of the radical treatment of resectable lung cancer, although its appropriate extension in early stages is a debated topic due to the great heterogeneity of studies in the literature. This study aims to evaluate the impact of lymphadenectomy extent on survival and recurrence in the treatment of early-stage NSCLC patients undergoing lobectomy and lymph node dissection.
Methods: Data from clinical stage I NSCLC patients undergoing lobectomy and hilar-mediastinal lymphadenectomy at two thoracic surgery centers from 2016 to 2019 were retrospectively evaluated.

This case report presents the details of an elderly man in Zhejiang Province of China, who tested human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative and subsequently developed Nodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma (NMZL) along with disseminated infection. The study focuses on analyzing the distinct clinical symptoms and pathological manifestations in order to offer precise diagnosis and effective treatment for patients. A 76-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital due to recurrent fever.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the standard method for sampling mediastinal/hilar lymph node disease. However, the smaller samples obtained via needle aspiration have a lower diagnostic rate for benign compared to malignant diseases. The low diagnostic rates have been reported to be improved through using endobronchial ultrasound-guided intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS-IFB), but the implementation of IFB presents technical challenges, as described with variable results in certain studies.
