Aggressive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Setting of GATA2 Deficiency
ABSTRACT Background GATA2 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder associated with hematologic, infectious, and neoplastic complications. We report a case of a patient with GATA2 deficiency who developed aggressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck, an atypical manifestation of this condition.

Silicosis Mimicking Lung Malignancy: A Case Series
This case series describes three patients that were suspected to have a primary lung malignancy based on FDG‐PET findings, but were found to have pulmonary silicosis. With this series, we demonstrate how histologic examination can differentiate between silicosis and malignancy and provide suggestions to help clinicians differentiate between these two ...

Telomere Shortening in Interstitial Lung Disease: Challenges and Promises
Telomerase abnormalities such as related gene mutations lead to decrease in telomerase activity and telomere shortening. Individual cells undergoing continuous division exhibit telomere shortening. A successive shortening of the telomere results in dysfunctional telomeres.

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for support during whole lung lavage for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION ECMO as support during whole lung lavage (WLL) for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is reserved for severe cases where oxygenation is inadequate to support the patient using the ventilator alone.

Silicosarcoidosis: Histologic and Clinical Features of an Occupational Granulomatous Disease
ABSTRACT Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Growing evidence indicates that occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is associated with an increased incidence of sarcoidosis. Yet a diagnosis of sarcoidosis rarely prompts investigation to identify preventable exposures.
