Pleura
Abstract
We report a 65-year-old man with a 35-year history of occupational asbestos exposure. He presented at a nearby hospital with a complaint of dyspnea in 2002. Bilateral pleural effusion was revealed on a chest x-ray film. Chest CT revealed diffuse thickening of the pleura, bilateral pleural effusions...

Abstract
We studied how these changes had affected postoperative management of patients after pleuropneumonectomy.
We retrospectively reviewed 22 patients who had undergone pleuropneumonectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma from 2001 to 2008. They were divided into two groups; those before 2003 (n = 6) a...

Abstract
A resected adenocarcinoma illustrates challenges in diagnosing bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC). Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is defined by lack of invasion, something that may be difficult to assess in scars. Small (≤0.5 cm) invasive foci have little impact on the good prognosis associated with...

Abstract
Primary epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) of the pleura is a rare vascular tumour that occurs mainly in men. Pleural effusion and thickening are the most common clinical presentations. A 58 year old female, nonsmoking patient presented to us with dry cough, dyspnoea and left chest pain for sev...

Abstract
Catamenial pneumothorax accounts for approximately one third of cases of spontaneous pneumothoraces in women referred for surgery. At video-assisted thoracic surgery, diaphragmatic defects and nodules are the most frequent findings. Pathology shows endometriosis in most instances. Endometrial implan...

Abstract
Because extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) suffers from unsatisfiable risk/benefit ratio, very careful consideration on its indication should be required. EPP is a complicated, multi-step surgery that includes pleural dissection, division of hilum, resection of...

Abstract
Analysis of the SI-time curves of the RAs revealed a curve shape similar to the pulmonary artery, but a magnitude in SI between artery and normal lung tissue. Linear curve fit showed a significantly steeper slope during wash-in and wash-out, and higher relative signal increase in atelectases as comp...

Abstract
Pleural lavage cytology should be considered in all patients with non-small-cell lung cancer suitable for resection. A positive result is an independent predictor of adverse survival, and the impact on survival suggests that it may be appropriate to upstage patients by 1 T category.

Pleural effects of indium phosphide in B6C3F1 mice: nonfibrous particulate induced pleural fibrosis.
Abstract
The mechanism(s) by which chronic inhalation of indium phosphide (InP) particles causes pleural fibrosis is not known. Few studies of InP pleural toxicity have been conducted because of the challenges in conducting particulate inhalation exposures, and because the pleural lesions developed slowly ov...

We needed to consider metastasis. To make diagnosis, a wedge resection of the pulmonary nodule was performed. The tumor was diagnosed as a lipoma. No malignant cells were seen. Although peripheral intrapulmonary lipoma is very rare, it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of an intra...
