Pulmonary Infiltration

Abstract Background Chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of natural killer cells (CLPD-NK) is an extremely rare haematological disease. To the best of our knowledge, pulmonary infiltration in CLPD-NK has not been reported before. Our case study aimed to present the clinical characteristics, chest computed tomography (CT) findings, and flow cytometry immunophenotyping (FCI) results of an unusual case of migratory pulmonary infiltration in a patient with CLPD-NK. Case presentation A 51-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital on October 8, 2019. Eight months before this visit, she had been diagnosed with pneumonia in a community hospital with 1 month of low-grade fever and had recovered after oral antibiotic administration. During follow-up, the patient presented with persistent peripheral blood (PB) lymphocytosis and ground-glass opacities on lung CT scans without any symptoms and signs or any evidence of infectious, allergic or autoimmunity pulmonary diseases. Abnormal NK cells were identified in the PB, bone marrow and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) using FCI in our hospital. Eventually, the patient was diagnosed with pulmonary infiltration of CLPD-NK. The patient had an indolent clinical course without symptoms, hepatosplenomegaly or palpable lymphadenopathy and did not receive any therapy. The patient has remained in a good performance status 13 months after the diagnosis. Conclusions Our study described a unique case of pulmonary infiltration in a patient with CLPD-NK. The present case highlights the importance of FCI of the BALF in patients with lymphocytosis and pulmonary shadows to avoid misdiagnosis.

Clinical Conditions

Tuberculosis (TB) is known to mimic several clinical conditions, especially malignancy. Pulmonary TB can present with pulmonary infiltration with or without mediastinal lymphadenopathy. TB often gets misdiagnosed in the countries having a low incidence of TB with a high incidence of lung cancer and varying clinical presentations, which results in delay in treatment initiation and unnecessary diagnostic procedures. We present a case of a 52-year old female, with a presumptive diagnosis of malignancy, which was subsequently proved as pulmonary tuberculosis with no evidence of malignancy instead.

Background. Metallic foreign bodies in the lung could be recognized using radiography. Non-metallic foreign bodies make difficulties because they are not as dense as metals. The aim of this report was to present the case of nonmetallic foreign bodies in the lung. Case report. A soldier of the Federation Army of Bosnia and Hertzegovina, injured in the explosion in 1998 was presented. The soldier was subjected to thoracic drainage and surgery tretment of the wound. After one year, the pulmologist treated him with tuberculostatics because of hemoptysis and pulmonary infiltration shown by a radiogram. This therapy had no effects, and the pulmologist presented this case to the thoracic surgeon who made thoracotomy removing a piece of wood (13 ? 2 ? 0.7 cm), 20 different-size pieces of wood, and a piece of textile from the lung. Conclusion. Patients with penetrating explosive lung injuries without metallic foreign bodies shown by a radiogram, with complications as hemoptisis, lung abscess, bronchiectasis, obstruction of the bronchus, chronic pneumonia should be subjected to thoracotomy for removing suspected foreign bodies without resecting the lung.

Cunninghamella bertholletiaeis an opportunistic fungal organism found in soil and is a rare cause of human disease. The few reported cases ofC. bertholletiaehave involved immune compromised hosts. We report a case ofC. bertholletiaein an otherwise healthy patient presenting with persistent high-grade fever and pulmonary infiltration resistant to antibiotics. The organism is isolated through bronchoscopy and responded to broad spectrum antifungal. This is the first case ofC. bertholletiaereported in the literature in an immune competent individual.
