RESUMO
Bronchiolar adenoma (BA)/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (CMPT) is a rare pulmonary neoplasm, with less than 150 cases documented in the literature. We report a unique case of BA/CMPT complicated by lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) in a 55-year-old male with Sjögren's disease. This is the first documented instance of such a comorbidity. Through a systematic review of PubMed, we also summarize the demographic, clinical, radiological, histopathological, and treatment characteristics of CMPT.
RESUMO
Kounis syndrome (KS), recognized as a rare yet significant form of acute coronary syndrome precipitated by allergy-mediated mechanisms, poses diagnostic challenges due to its varied clinical presentations and under-recognition. Despite its relevance across diverse populations, comprehensive insights into age-specific characteristics and management remain limited. The analysis of 420 studies yielded a total of 466 case reports of Kounis syndrome, categorized into pediatric (n = 31) and adult (n = 435) populations. After rigorous screening, 330 adult and 20 pediatric case reports were included for further analysis. Triggering factors were identified, with drugs (other) being the most prevalent in both groups. The breakdown of triggering factors, such as drugs (antibiotics), bee/wasp stings, and contrast media, was elucidated. Variations in presenting symptoms, diagnostic investigations, and treatment modalities between pediatric and adult populations were observed. Notably, all pediatric cases were diagnosed with subtype I Kounis syndrome and demonstrated favorable outcomes without any reported fatalities, whereas adult cases exhibited a broader range of Kounis subtypes. Mortality was recorded solely in adult case reports, with no fatalities reported among pediatric cases. These findings underscore the importance of understanding the nuances in the clinical presentation and management of Kounis syndrome across different age groups.
