Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Presenting as Multiple Obstructing Bronchial Lesions and Pulmonary Masses. [PDF]
We describe a case of PLCH presenting as multiple obstructing bronchial lesions and pulmonary masses in a 36‐year‐old man. To our knowledge, this is the first report of PLCH presenting as bilateral hilar masses and airway obstructive lesions. ABSTRACT Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare lung disease, which was previously classified as ...

Tracheobronchial Aspergillosis Mimicking Pseudotumoral Lesions in a Rare Presentation of a Known Disease. [PDF]
Bronchoscopic view showing an obstructive tumor‐like lesion arising from the right main bronchus, consistent with tracheobronchial aspergillosis. ABSTRACT Tracheobronchial aspergillosis (TBA) is an uncommon form of invasive Aspergillus infection that can closely mimic endobronchial malignancy, particularly when presenting as an obstructive ...

Complete Right Upper Lobe Atelectasis Caused by an Endobronchial Hamartoma: Diagnostic Challenges and Successful Treatment With Rigid Bronchoscopy and Laser. [PDF]
We describe a case of complete right upper lobe atelectasis caused by an endobronchial hamartoma that was initially misdiagnosed on flexible bronchoscopic biopsy and was successfully treated with rigid bronchoscopy and laser therapy. ABSTRACT Endobronchial hamartomas are very rare benign lung tumours that may cause airway obstruction and are frequently
