Small Cell Lung Cancer Associated With Cystic Airspace: A Case Report and Literature Review

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
We report a rare case of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) associated with a cystic airspace. Chest CT revealed a solid tumour component arising from the wall of a pre‐existing lung cyst. This case highlights the clinical importance of recognising cystic airspaces as potential sites for aggressive malignancies like SCLC.

Bronchoscopic Localization of a Post‐Surgical Persistent Air Leak Facilitating Successful Treatment With a Hybrid Imaging‐Guided Percutaneous Sealing of Fistula and Autologous Blood Patch Technique

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
In this case of a complex post‐surgical PAL after radical thymectomy, lobectomy and pleurectomy, we describe how sequential bronchoscopic balloon catheter occlusion with the aid of a digital chest drain allowed physiological localization of an air leak predominantly originating from the LB6 lateral subsegment.
