BACKGROUND: Lepidic adenocarcinoma represents a histologic pattern of non-small cell lung cancer that characteristically arises in the lung periphery with tracking alongside pre-existing alveolar walls. Noninvasive and invasive variants of lepidic adenocarcinoma are dependent on parenchymal destruction, vascular, or pleural invasion. The lepidic-predominant lung malignancies are collectively recognized as slow growing with rare metastasis and excellent prognosis. The World Health Organization classification of lung malignancies depends on molecular and histopathological findings...

Boerhaave's syndrome is a rare spontaneous perforation of the esophagus with high mortality. The diagnosis is difficult because it has no specific symptom. It requires urgent intervention. We report the case of a 63-year-old male admitted to the emergency department with respiratory distress. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed large, bilateral, and tension hydropneumothorax, stomach distention, and aerobilia. Thoracic drainage was performed immediately. Control CT revealed esophagus perforation in the middle third of the esophagus with extravasation of the contrast product from the esophagus to the pleura...

Effusive pneumothorax can be hemopneumothorax, pyopneumothorax, or hydropneumothorax depending on the type of fluid compartment within the pleural cavity. Hydropneumothorax is the abnormal collection of air and serous fluid within the pleural cavity. Here, we report a case of a 34-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with cough and breathlessness. We did bedside point-of-care ultrasound-assisted clinical evaluation as the patient was vitally unstable, which showed "hydro point" and "defective barcode sign," which suggested hydropneumothorax...

Cavitation and pneumothorax are independently associated with high morbidity and mortality in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). While spontaneous (non-traumatic) pneumothorax formation has commonly been observed among mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients, there are few rare reports of COVID-19 associated pneumothorax without any history of barotrauma and other conventional risk factors. Here, we report a unique case of post-COVID-19 cavitation and tension pneumothorax which was further complicated by hydropneumothorax formation in a young patient who suffered severe COVID-19 pneumonia 4 weeks back...

We report a fatal case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-induced necrotizing pneumonia that was refractory to adequate vancomycin treatment (trough value, 13.1 µg/ml), drainage of hydropneumothorax, and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Despite appropriate treatment, MRSA infection can cause rapidly progressive disease with a high-case fatality rate.

COVID-19 is a pandemic viral disease with a catastrophic global impact. The severity of COVID-19 symptoms ranges from very mild to severe and affects mainly the respiratory system. Spontaneous pneumothorax and pleural effusion are rarely seen in spontaneously breathing COVID-19 patients. We herein report a case of a patient with mild COVID-19 disease presenting to the emergency department with hydropneumothorax. Due to persistent air leak, the patient was managed with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) bullectomy and talc pleurodesis...

Recurrent pyogenic effusion combined with bilateral pneumothorax is a rare complication associated with the COVID-19 infection. Current article presents the case report of a 68-year-old male with the severe community-acquired bilateral polysegmental viral COVID-19 pneumonia. Chest radiography on the 15th day after admission to the hospital showed the presence of air and pleural effusion in the right pleural cavity with collapse of the right lung. Thoracentesis and thoracostomy in the sixth intercostal space on the mid-axillary line were performed...

Primary mediastinal synovial sarcomas constitute a rare subset of mediastinal tumors. The diagnosis is often delayed at the time of presentation impacting the five-year survival rate due to its highly aggressive natural history. We report a 22-year old female with a monophasic variant of the primary mediastinal synovial sarcoma. A 22-year-old female, with a two-month history of productive cough, fever, breathlessness, was referred to our center in view of persistent right-sided hydropneumothorax despite multiple thoracocenteses...

Effusive pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air and fluid within the pleural space: blood, pus, or serous fluid. Thus, effusive pneumothorax can be categorized as hemopneumothorax, pyopneumothorax, or hydropneumothorax, depending on the type of fluid accumulation. Hydropneumothorax is a clinical condition defined by the presence of air and serous fluid within the pleura space. Hydropneumothorax is one of the common respiratory emergencies encountered in the emergency department in India. Etiologies can be classified into infectious and non-infectious causes, among which tuberculosis being the most common one...

COVID-19 pneumonia causes several complications that include pneumothorax, hydropneumothorax, empyema, and rarely leads to bronchopleural fistula (BPF). BPF is a communication between the pleural space and the bronchial tree. We report a case of 24 years man with pneumothorax, hydropneumothorax, and BPF that appeared after COVID-19 infection.

An 83-year-old female patient presented to the Emergency Department with shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing and left-sided chest pain following a vomiting attempt. A rupture in the left lower third of the esophagus, with hydropneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and subcutaneous emphysema was revealed by chest X-ray, thoracic computed tomography scan, and contrast esophagography. The patient was successfully treated conservatively with closed thoracostomy, intravenous fluids, parenteral nutrition, and broad-spectrum antibiotics coverage...

Preoperative identification of unresectable pleural mesothelioma could spare unnecessary surgical intervention and accelerate the initiation of medical treatments. The aim of this study is to determine predictors of unresectability, testing our impression that the contraction of the ipsilateral hemithorax is often associated with exploratory thoracotomy. Between 1994 and 2020, 291 patients undergoing intended macroscopic complete resection for mesothelioma after chemotherapy were retrospectively investigated...

BACKGROUND: The Abramson technique for the correction of pectus carinatum (PC) is commonly performed worldwide. However, the postoperative complications of this technique related to bar fixation, including wire breakage and bar displacement, are relatively high. In this study, a new minimally invasive technique for correction of PC is described, in which the pectus bar is secured by bilateral selected ribs, and for which no special fixation to the rib is needed. METHODS: The procedure was performed by placing the pectus bar subcutaneously over the sternum with both ends of the bar passing through the intercostal space of the selected rib at the anterior axillary line...

We report a diagnostically challenging case of a 77-year-old man who presented with shortness of breath and was found to have a large right hydropneumothorax with collapse of the right lung. A malignancy was suspected, but pleural fluid cytology and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging were negative. He then underwent video-assisted thoracoscopy with biopsies of the pleura and chest wall which revealed malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Older patients with early stage MPM are more likely to have false-negative FDG PET/CT results...

BACKGROUND: To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative patients with Talaromyces marneffei ( T. marneffei ) infection. METHODS: We retrospectively collected the clinical information of HIV-negative patients with T. marneffei infection from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2019, and analyzed the related risk factors of poor prognosis. RESULTS: Twenty-five cases aging 22 to 79 years were included...

INTRODUCTION: Central venous catheters (CVCs) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) may cause delayed complications, such as venous erosion, hydrothorax, or hydromediastinum. Vascular erosion is most frequently associated with left-sided CVC insertions. We report a case of hydropneumomediastinum and hydropneumothorax as a delayed complication of right-sided PICC used for total parenteral nutrition. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 77-year-old man with muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy and radical cystectomy with uretero-ileostomy reconstruction (Bricker)...
