Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 is an infection caused by novel coronavirus Serious Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2. About 20% patients with severe symptoms could become critically ill. In this case report, we present a case with severe COVID-19 infection. Case report: Mr. SA, a 54-year-old patient came to the hospital with chief complaint of dry cough. Patient had fever for 2 days and myalgia. Patient had a history of well-controlled hypertension. X-ray examination showed worsening consolidation and CT-scan showed pleural effusion. Patient was treated with convalescent plasma therapy, IVIG, and symptomatic drugs. The patient was diagnosed with confirmed case of severe COVID-19, stage I hypertension, hypercoagulable state, CCS, and grade I obesity. The Evaluation of this patient consist of CT Scan, Lung Function using a Body Plethysmograph that will followed for 9 month after the patient discharged. Conclusion: There had been a few therapeutic options for COVID-19 but no definitive treatment yet. IVIG and convalescent plasma had been used for the treatment of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. As such, these treatments were also used in COVID-19 treatment with promising results. Keywords: COVID-19, IVIG, convalescent plasma

Abstract

Introduction: Chemical pneumonitis is an uncommon condition. Hydrocarbon pneumonitis is a kind of chemical pneumonitis. The features of this disease are atypical and may manifest either abruptly or persistently. Lung tuberculosis is an endemic illness in Indonesia, with an estimated 969,000 patients exhibiting diverse characteristics that may resemble chemical pneumonitis. Case Report: A 29-year-old gas station attendant with a history of recurrent exposure to gasoline vapours and episodes of asphyxiation while syphoning gasoline. A thoracic CT scan with contrast reveals several bilateral nodules with a tree-in-bud pattern, suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis, with chemical pneumonitis as a differential diagnosis. Utilising clinical data, including occupational history, body plethysmography and spirometry results (moderate restrictive), laboratory findings, CT scan pictures, and Volatile Organic Compound analysis (elevated hydrocarbon levels), the patient is diagnosed with hydrocarbon pneumonitis. Discussion: The differential diagnosis was excluded through the analysis of sputum using molecular rapid test, IGRA test, LJ culture, and AFB of bronchial washing fluid. The administration of inhaled corticosteroids is a viable therapeutic option for this situation. Following six months of medication and exposure avoidance, the patient's condition has been improving. The patient was initially diagnosed with suspected lung tuberculosis based on a thoracic CT scan with contrast revealing bilateral multiple nodules exhibiting a tree-in-bud pattern. However, considering the patient's occupational history involving exposure to gasoline vapour and a history of choking on gasoline, the radiological findings ultimately confirmed a diagnosis of hydrocarbon pneumonitis. Case management may be determined by the severity level; however, due to its rarity, no primary treatment option exists. Conclusion: Hydrocarbon pneumonitis is infrequently encountered in comparison to pulmonary tuberculosis. Inhaled corticosteroids are a treatment alternative that yields clinical improvement. This example illustrates those rare diseases, such as hydrocarbon pneumonitis, can mimic pulmonary tuberculosis.

A woman with complaints of shortness of breath, cough, fever, night sweating, decrease of body weight and swelling in face, neck and right arm. Chest x-rays and ct thorax revealed a mass in mediastinum.Case Description: Patient is a 24 years old female with complaints of shortness of breath, cough, fever, night sweating, decrease of body weight and swelling in face, neck and right arm. Chest x rays and CT thorax revealed a mass in mediastinum. Open biopsy on right neck mass and transthoracic FNAB resulting of chronic inflammation, so the patient was diagnosed with glandular tuberculosis and Mediastinal Tumor. Patient was getting worse after one month consuming OAT. Patient was consulted to Cardiovascular and thorax Surgery Department. Patient was performed thoracotomy and debulking. Anatomical pathology was examined from debulking mass, the result of immunohistochemistry was found nodular mediastinal gray zone lymphoma.Discussion: this case it is very difficult to enforce the diagnosis. Patients have done neck FNAB, transthoracic FNAB, open biopsy right neck mass and FOB have not been able to establish diagnosis. Until finally done thoracotomy and debulking in this patient, from immunohistochemistry results obtained nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma. Collaboration from pulmonologist, radiologist, cardiovascular and thorax surgeon, and patology anatomy specialist  is needed to confirm the diagnosis in these patients.Keywords: mediastinal tumor, mediastinal gray zone lymphoma

Abstract

Lung adenocarcinoma with malignant pericardial effusion and also metastases to mediastinum has great impact on morbidity and mortality of patient and it is rare case. Most adenocarcinoma in the mediastinum are metastases from the lung, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, kidney or even the pituitary gland. Cardiac metastases in lung cancer may occur due to retrograde lymphatic spread or by hematogenous dissemination of tumour cells. Pericardium is frequently involved in direct cardiac invasion by adjacent lung cancer. Pericardial effusion, pericarditis, and tamponade are common and life threatening presentation in such cases. A 42-years-old male with superior mediastinal mass has malignant pericardial effusion, cytology shows adenocarcinoma. The patient undergo transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy. The result from biopsy is adenocarcinoma. This is a rare case, patient with primary lung adenocarcinoma and malignant pericardial effusion also metastases to mediastinum. To determine the diagnosis requires a comprehensive clinical evaluation and multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract

Background: Mesothelioma is a primary malignant tumor arising from the mesothelial surface of the pleura, peritoneal, tunica vaginalis, and pericardium. Most cases of mesothelioma originate from the pleura. Most patients have a history of asbestos exposure. A common diagnostic problem is distinguishing mesothelioma from adenocarcinoma since both tumors invade the pleura. Immunocytochemistry of calretinin and TTF-1 can be used to establish the diagnosis of mesothelioma.Case: Male, 56 years old presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, and weight loss since 5 months before hospitalization. The patient had a history of occupational exposure to asbestos for 30 years. The movement and breath sounds were decreased as well as dull upon percussion at the right chest. A chest X-ray revealed a right lung tumor with pleural effusion. Thorax CT scan suggested pleural mass in right hemithorax, infiltration to intercostal muscles, and destruction of the 7th right rib, right perihilar lymphadenopathy, right pleural effusion, and liver nodules according to mesothelioma T4N1M1 Stage IV. Infiltrative stenting of the right and inferior lobe of the right lung, infiltrative and obstructive stenting of the medius lobe suggestive of a chronic malignancy and inflammation were found on FOB. Cytologic examination of pleural fluid, sputum, and Washing-and-brushing of FOB were a class II (no malignant cells). USG-guided transthoracic FNAB revealed adenocarcinoma with differential diagnosis of mesothelioma. Immunocytochemistry with calretinin showed positive results and TTF-1 showed a negative result. These confirmed the diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma T4N1M1 Stage IV. The patient showed a stable response from carboplatin/gemcitabine treatment.Keyword : Mesothelioma, Immunocytochemistry, TTF-1, Calrenitin

Abstract

Background: NSIP is a rare disease, the incidence rate ranges from 1 to 9 per 100,000 population, where most cases of NSIP are idiopathic. NSIP definitive diagnosis is very difficult because it must be with a multidisciplinary approach and confirm from a pulmonary biopsy. On the course of his illnesses the possibility of Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) arising in NSIP during follow up period was about 10% of cases.Case Report: We reported one case at RS Dr. Saiful Anwar, an old adult male smoker, age 64 with fibrotic type Non Spesific Instertitial Pneumonia (NSIP). From clinical patients including anamnesis, physical examination and laboratory results and X-Ray chest, ILD suspicion was found. Bodypletstimography results show a corresponding decrease in DLCO with ILD. CT-Scan results obtained by crazy paving with pulmonary bronchiectasis traction in accordance with ILD susp Sussection NSIP and enforced from VATS biopsy results with conclusions according to NSIP description. Patients received corticosteroid therapy for 4 weeks and showed clinical improvement.Conclusion: In these patients the diagnosis of fibrotic NSIP has gone through a multidisciplinary approach including the pulmonology, radiologist and pathologist sections. Corticosteroid therapy in these patients gives good results and the patient is in stable condition. Periodic monitoring is necessary because of the risk of exacerbations and the incidence of CTD complications..

Incidence of Sarcomatoid Carcinoma 5-10% of all patients with thymic carcinoma. Carcinoma Sarcomatoid is a highly progressive tumor, most patients will die after 3 years of diagnosis despite aggressive multimodality therapy.Case Description: A 47-year-old woman with chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing, weight loss, enlarging lump in the neck and chest was felt for 1 month. Physical and supporting examination showed anterior superior mediastinal tumors and soft mass tissue in the right region of the Colli. Based on the Transthoracal FNAB Guiding ultrasound and FNAB the anterior colli region concluded that Thymoma, thyroid oncocytic adenoma and Nodular colloid goiter with azkanasy cell proliferation. The patient had Partial Sternotomy (Hemiclamshell), thymectomy with the final diagnosis of Sarcomatoid Carcinoma. Discussion: Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a type of thymic carcinoma that has both malignant epithelium (carcinomatous) and spindle cells (sarcomatous/sarcomatoid), generally with a transition between the two. This case was interesting because of the rare occurrence of Sarcomatoid Carcinoma plus the large size of tumor mass in this patient.

Abstract

Background: Teratomas are tumors originate from germ cells, consist of well differentiated tissue from more than one of three layers of embryonic cells: ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. Teratomas are generally slow-growing and asymptomatic. Mediastinal teratoma is the most common extra-gonadal germ cell tumor. Superior vena cava syndrome and bilateral paramaligant pleural effusion are complications which can occur in mediastinal teratomas. Case: We report a 37-year-old woman presented with shortness of breath since 1 month before admission, chest pain, cough, weight loss,  swolen of face, neck, and right arm. Chest x-ray showed mediastinal tumor. However, no mediastinal tumor had been detected by chest x-ray to examine her heart disease 3 years earlier. Chest computed tomography scan showed anterosuperior mediastinal tumor surrounding great blood vessels and bilateral pleural effusion. Computed tomography guided transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy revealed  tumor containing mature squamous epithelial component. Patient underwent open biopsy by sternotomy and histological assessment confirmed the diagnosis as mediastinal teratoma with vascular lesions predominantly resembling vascular tumor.Conclusion: Establishing the diagnosis of mediastinal teratoma is challenging and it requires multi modality approaches.  Keywords: Mediastinal teratoma, vena cava superior syndrome, bilateral paramalignant pleural effusion.

Abstract

Background : Incidence of mediastinal teratoma 8,5 - 13,6% of all patients in mediastinal tumor. Teratomas are most common in young adults. Mediastinal teratoma is rarely present clinical manifestation. The clinical manifestation present along with increasing size of mass and also reported with chest pain, back pain, shortness of breath and febrile caused by chronic pneumonia. Rupture of a mediastinal teratoma can cause pleural effusion, empyema and cardiac tamponade. CT is first modality of choice for tumour diagnosis.  Mature teratoma is a type of benign tumor, most patients will recovery after complete resection.Case Report : We report one case at Dr. Saiful Anwar hospital, an elderly woman, 57 years old with mediastinal teratoma, whose formerly differential diagnosed with empyema. On the diagnostic test found no evidence of empyema but leads to loculated cloudy pleural effusion. Physical and supporting examination showed anterior mediastinal tumors. Based on the CT-Scan and thorax sonography concluded that is a cystic mass on anterior right hemithorax dextra. The patient performed thoracotomy and eksploration with the final diagnosis of giant cystic mediastinum tumour, with the histopathology is mature teratoma.  Conclusion: In this patient, the diagnosis of mediastinal cystic mature teratoma  with loculated pleural effusion proven through a multidisciplinary approach covering the pulmonology, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, radiology and histopathology. Key words : Mediastinal tumour, Mature teratoma

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary sequestration is a very rare congenital abnormality of the lung, which was responsible for 0.15-6.4% of all cases of congenital lung formation disorders. Pulmonary sequestration is often seen as recurrent pneumonia, accompanied by complaints of chest pain, shortness of breath and hemoptysis. Conventional angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary sequestration and for demonstrating arterial supply and venous drainage. The optimal therapy for pulmonary sequestration is operative resection to avoid infection and damage to the lung parenchyma. Case Report: We reported a case of 43-years old-male with pulmonary sequestration, previously diagnosed with a lung tumor with massive left pleural effusion and pneumonia. A series of diagnostic tests found no malignant cells. During FNAB with CT scan guiding, we found an image of a fungus ball, thus, he was diagnosed with Aspergillosis. The patient was planned to undergo VATS. There were complications during the operation, thus, a lobectomy with an open thoracotomy was performed, and an arterial anomaly was found from the abdominal aorta. The operation was successful and the patient was able to carry on with his normal activities.Conclusion: Establishing a definite diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration is very difficult, and in this case, it was done through lobectomy with thoracotomy and through a multidisciplinary approach.
