Pulmonary Malakoplakia Associated with Peripheral Cysts in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report
Journal of Chest Surgery, 2022 Pulmonary malakoplakia is a rare lung lesion more frequently found in immunocompromised patients than in immunocompetent individuals. In this study, we report the challenging case of a young immunocompetent patient with an irregular pulmonary nodule ...

Pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
, 2005 The current paradigm for the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is that chronic airflow limitation results from an abnormal inflammatory response to inhaled particles and gases in the lung. Airspace inflammation appears to be different

Endobronchial ultrasonography with guide-sheath for peripheral pulmonary lesions [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2004 The usefulness of endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) with guide-sheath (GS) as a guide for transbronchial biopsy (TBB) for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL)s and for improving diagnostic accuracy was evaluated in this study.EBUS-GS-guided TBB was performed in 24 patients with 24 PPLs of ≤30 mm in diameter (average diameter=18.4 mm).

Diagnostic usefulness of bronchoscopy for peripheral pulmonary lesions in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2021 As lung cancers arising in a background of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are known to show high malignancy grades, early pathologic diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) is important. Meanwhile, the risk of complications associated with diagnostic procedures is high, which prompted us to investigate the role of bronchoscopy, a ...

Robotic Bronchoscopy for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions [PDF]
Chest, 2021 The diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL) continues to present clinical challenges. Despite extensive experience with guided bronchoscopy, the diagnostic yield has not improved significantly. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopic platforms have been developed potentially to improve the diagnostic yield for PPL.
