latrogenic Mediastinal Emphysema and Subcutaneous Emphysema Induced by Bronchoscopic Examination.
Authors: Eguchi Y, Sugitani A, Nishida K, Shinokil M, Uraokal N, Nakatsuji Y, Kureya Y, Kawamotol T, Miki Y, Shinyamal M, Tsukioka T, Minami K
Abstract
A 79-year-old man presented with fever of unknown origin with interstitial shadows in the bilateral lung fields. A bronchoscopic examination did not indicate any malignancy or specific interstitial disease. After the bronchoscopic examination, the patient gradually developed subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema. As the subcutaneous emphysema and mediastinal emphysema were mild, the patient was not administered any specific treatment. However, he eventuall...

An Unusual Presentation in Urinothorax.
We report the case of a 35-year-old female who presented with dyspnoea and right-sided chest pain. Chest radiograph revealed a right-sided pleural effusion. The patient had undergone left-sided ovarian cystectomy three months ago, had sustained a left-sided ureteric injury that required ureteric stent placement. Urinothorax was suspected as a consequence of ureteric injury; pleural fluid to serum creatinine ratio was found to be greater than one, confirming the diagnosis.

Symptomatic Unilateral Pleural Effusion Secondary due to Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome.
Authors: Gaude G, Chaudhury A
Abstract
Isolated pleural effusion is a rare presentation of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome following ovulation induction therapy. We hereby report the case of a 24-year-old female who presented with unilateral moderate pleural effusion following ovulation induction therapy. Therapeutic thoracentesis was performed to relieve the breathlessness in this case.

Miliary Adenocarcinoma of the Lung with Lepidic Pattern: A Morphological Conundrum. Infiltrating bilateral pulmonary miliary adenocarcinoma
with predominantly lepidic pattern.
Authors: Amonkar GP, Desai HM
Abstract
Miliary multi-focal bilateral pulmonary adenocarcinoma with lepidic predominant pattern is an unusual morphological presentation and is seen in females who are non-smokers. This gross morphology can be confused with infectious diseases, like tuberculosis, histoplasmosis or with pulmonary metastasis.

Spectrum of Clinical Presentation of Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis: Case Series from North India.
We describe five cases of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) from North India with characteristic radiological and
histopathological features. All patients were symptomatic with variable severity and duration of the symptoms and one
patient developed cor-pulmonale during the course of follow-up. Diagnosis of PAM was suspected on the basis of classical
sand-storm appearance on radiological examination and confirmed by transbronchial lung biopsy in four of the five cases.
Apart from other features, presence of pleural and pericardial calcification in one case makes this discussion valuable.
Awareness of this specific en...

Transtracheal Oxygen Therapy and Bronchial Toileting using Minitracheostomy in Patients with Advanced Respiratory Failure.
We describe three such cases with advanced respiratory failure where a modification of conventional
transtracheal oxygenation was used successfully. This method provided the added advantage of being more cost-effective
and helping in easy bronchial toileting.

Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation, Type II: A Rare Cause of Haemoptysis.
We describe here the occurrence of congenital cystic adenomatoid
malformation of right lung in a 12-year-old girl presenting with haemoptysis and hypovolaemic shock. She underwent right
middle lobectomy; and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. She has been doing well on follow-up.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Complicated by Pseudochylothorax Without Pleural Thickening: A Diagnostic Challenge for Clinicians.
Authors: Agrawal A, Chandermani, Madaan H, Yadav S
Abstract
A 60-year-old female who was known to have rheumatoid arthritis for the preceding two-and-half years presented with
difficulty in breathing associated with chest pain over the right hemithorax of two months duration. She was found to have
a right-sided mild to moderate pleural effusion; there was no evidence of pleural thickening. The pleural fluid was pale yellow
in appearance and diagnostic work-up confirmed it to be a pseudochylous pleural effusion. The present case highlights the
rare occurrence of pseudochylothorax without pleural thickening ...

Tuberculosis of the Chest Wall with Massive Tuberculous Pleural Effusion.
Authors: Monteiro MV, Keny SJ, Lawande DJ, Kakodkar UC
Abstract
Primary tuberculosis of components of the chest wall is a rare entity. Involvement of skeletal muscle by tuberculosis without
any primary focus is also rare. Here, we report a case of tuberculosis of chest wall without pulmonary or bone involvement,
that invaded into the pleural space leading to a massive pleural effusion.
