ABSTRACT

A 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of right chest pain and high fever. Chest X-ray and computed tomography scan revealed right pleural effusion and pleural thickness. Diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma was established by pleural biopsy. Serum level of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was high. We performed extrapleural pneumonectomy which improved high fever and inflammation, however the patient died three months after surgery.

ABSTRACT

Clinicians should be careful when examining a case with endobronchial hamartoma with concurrent malignant disease because radiographic imaging and symptoms cannot clearly differentiate between both diseases.

ABSTRACT

Portal vein stenosis (PVS) after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a serious complication that can lead to graft failure. Few studies of the diagnosis and treatment of late-onset (> or = 3 months after liver transplantation) PVS have been reported. One hundred thirty-three pediatric (median age 7.6 years, range 1.3-26.8 years) LDLT recipients were studied. The patients were followed by Doppler ultrasound (every 3 months) and multidetector helical computed tomography (once a year). Twelve patients were diagnosed with late-onset PVS 0.5-6.9 years after LDLT. All cases were successfully treated with balloon dilatation. Five cases required multiple treatments. Early diagnosis of late-onset PVS and interventional radiology therapy treatment may prevent graft loss.
