RESUMO

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) of the lung represents an extremely rare type of inflammatory pseudo tumor that appears most commonly in children and young individuals. There has been an ongoing controversy whether an IMT is a reactive lesion or a true neoplasm making the further management extremely challenging. Purpose of the paper is through a literature review to highlight the existence of this rare tumour along with its key features and the management options available.

RESUMO

Spontaneous haemothorax (SH) is a subcategory of haemothorax that involves the accumulation of blood within the pleural space in the abscence of trauma or other causes. The clinical presentation is variable and includes a rapid progression of symptoms of chest pain and dyspnea that can be life threatening when hemodynamic instability and hypovolemic shock occurs. Despite haemothorax, SH is much less common with data limited to case reports and case series. A literature review has been performed to identify and summarise all potentials causes leading to this clinical entity.

RESUMO

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the existence and the management of lung choriocarcinoma (CCA), a rare category of lung tumors. We present a 42-year-old female that presented to our department with a PET positive lesion in the left upper lobe and a history of pregnancy 6 months prior to onset of symptoms. CT guided biopsy was inconclusive for diagnosis and the patient underwent a left thoracotomy and lingula sparing upper lobectomy. Histology revealed CCA of the lung and subsequently blood results confirmed the elevated b-HCG. CCA of the lung is a clinical entity that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lung lesions in women after pregnancy.

RESUMO

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the thymus is a rare malignant neoplasm of the anterior mediastinum. There are less than 30 cases described in the English literature. We report a case of a 47-year-old lady who presented with myasthenia gravis and was found to have a well-circumscribed anterior mediastinal mass in her medical work-up. This mass was surgically resected and subsequently found to be a primary MEC of the thymus. This is the first reported case of thymic MEC with concurrent myasthenia gravis. Her myasthenia symptoms have persisted following complete surgical resection of her tumour.

RESUMO

Primary pulmonary synovial sarcomas represent a rare clinical entity and account for approximately 0.5% of lung malignancies. We report the case of a 30-year-old male who presented clinically with haemothorax. Imaging revealed a complex collection obscuring a multi-lobulated mass in the right lower lobe of the lung. He underwent a right thoracotomy for evacuation of collection and surgical resection of his pulmonary mass. Histological analysis confirmed a grade 3 monophasic fibrous synovial sarcoma of the lung with infiltration to adjacent pleura, causing his initial haemothorax. Postoperative period was uneventful and patient was referred to the oncology team for further management. Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma, though rare, should remain an important differential when considering lung malignancies, as complete surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment.
