A drastic post operative course after the resection of primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma in a male.

Primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma is a highly aggressive germ cell neoplasm and an extremely rare, especially in males. It is characterized by a poor response to therapy and shortened survival times. We present the case of primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma in a 46-year-old male.

Extramural recurrence of tracheal glomus tumour following resection by rigid bronchoscopy.

Glomus tumour of the trachea is very rare neoplasm that is generally benign and arises most commonly from the distal portion of the respiratory tree. This report presents the case of a 67-year-old man who was referred to our institute for excision of a tracheal mass that had been found incidentally, and subsequently recurred extramurally. Initial contrast-enhanced computed tomography images of the chest revealed a nodular lesion in the trachea, 2.

Emergent airway recanalization of the left main bronchus due to obstructive adenoid cystic carcinoma enables achievement of radical resection.

Malignant airway obstruction is a life-threatening condition that can cause suffocation and recurrent infections due to lung atelectasis. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare and slow-growing tumour of low-grade malignancy. We report the case of a 69-year-old female who presented with severe chest pain, orthopnea, and a 1-month history of progressively worsening difficulty in breathing.

Desquamation of the subpleural lung parenchyma caused by empyema after pulmonary embolism: A case report.

Subpleural peripheral lung regions are mainly nourished by pulmonary arteries. Herein, we report a case in which pleural infection after pulmonary embolism caused circulation failure in the subpleural lung parenchyma (SLP) and massive desquamation of the SLP.

A dramatic course after the resection of an SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumour.

Thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumours are ordinarily found as a huge mass with systemic metastasis, and the prognosis is poor. The potential of immunotherapy for these unresectable tumours has been reported. An asymptomatic 68-year-old man with a smoking history had a left lung mass without distant metastasis and underwent complete resection.
