Abstract

Introduction: Since a single pulmonary nodule (SPN) usually doesn't cause any respiratory symptoms, it is frequently found by accident. On a chest X-ray, the incidence of SPN is 0.1-0.2%, and on a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the thorax, it is 13%. In populations at high risk, the incidence rises to 9–33%. Contrast-enhanced CT scans are essential for early detection in order to assess and choose a course of treatment. About 40–50% of SPNs are malignant, with adenocarcinoma being the most prevalent subtype, making for 47% of all instances of lung cancer. Surgical intervention is advised in the early stages. Case Report: A 62-year-old nonsmoker arrived with haemoptysis and a persistent cough. A contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed a solid lesion of 2.8 cm x 2.7 cm x 2.4 cm, classified as stage IA. A chest X-ray revealed a tiny mass measuring 1.5 cm x 1 cm. Following a lobectomy, the patient's pathology revealed Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC), specifically adenocarcinoma. To rule out organ metastases, immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays were used. Conclusion: Lobectomy for SPN adenocarcinoma stage IA improves lung function and quality of life at one and three months post-surgery.

Abstract

Introduction:. Infection caused by NTM has a prevalence which varies between 4.1 and 14.1 per 100,000 patients per year. Female has a higher prevalence of NTM disease than male, which is increasing with age, and more common in Western and Southeast Asian countries.Case Description: A 42-year-old female patient has the clinical symptoms of hemoptysis, asphyxia, angina, fever, nocturnal hyperhidrosis, loss of weight and appetite for nearly 10 years. Based on the physical examination, radiology, microbiology and anatomic pathology, this patient has been diagnosed with Ca mammae with Pulmonary TB, and currently is infected by recurrent NTM.Discussion: Symptoms of nonspecific NTM often complicate the diagnosis of TNM. General symptoms such as chronic cough, increased sputum production, dyspnea, fever that is not too high, weakness, weight loss so that it overlaps with other pulmonary symptoms. In NTM, radiologicalmanifestations generally show bronchiectasis, nodular lesions, cavitary lesions and parenchymal consolidation. The choice of therapy in disease caused by NTM depends on three factors: the type of clinical presentation, the species of NTM causing the disease and the immune status of the patient.
