Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome revealed after surgery of lung adenocarcinoma

We report a very rare case of cT1N0M0 lung adenocarcinoma reveling Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). A 69-year-old nonsmoking woman, with several comorbidities consulted for cough and dyspnea. Chest radiograph and CT scanning detected a left lower lobe mass; Needle biopsy confirmed differentiated adenocarcinoma; 18FDG-PET scan and Brain MRI eliminated metastatic disease dissemination. Our patient underwent a left lower lobectomy with mediastinal lymphadenectomy (pT1N0M0), no adjuvant chemotherapy was administrated. One month later patient present a muscle weakness in both lower limbs and fatigability followed by an inability to walk. The diagnosis of LEMS was made from the distinctive electromyogram (EMG) findings and a treatment with Amifampridine (3, 4-diaminopyridine phosphate [3, 4-DAP]) was prescribed with evident efficacy for symptoms.

We report an extremely rare case of 79-year-old man, who was discovered with coincidental lung metastasis of prostate cancer and primary lung cancer. The patient presented with low prostatespecific antigen and two lung lesions: one in the right lower lobe, and one in the right upper lobe, 3 years after, he was treated with external beam radiotherapy for Gleason score 4+3=7, cT3aN0M0 prostate cancer. A computed tomography-guided needle biopsy of a nodule in the right lower lobe revealed suspicious metastasis of prostate cancer. Thoracoscopic excisions of both lesions were performed, and each lung lesion was diagnosed as being metastatic prostate cancer and primary lung cancer.

Hamartomas constitute a small portion of all pulmonary neoplasms. Here we present a case which was found incidentally on CT scan of the abdomen, a rare case of a giant pulmonary hamartoma (PH) was identified in the lower lobe of the left lung. The patient underwent a left exploratory thoracotomy and left lower lobectomy and the lesion was removed and identified as a chondroid hamartoma. The patient recovered successfully and obtained a repeated CT scan in 3 months, which showed no residual disease or recurrence

TÓM TẮT U mỡ trong xương là khối u lành tính hiếm gặp, thường gặp ở các xương dẹt, hiếm gặp ở xương nền sọ, đặc biệt là xương bướm. Trong đa số các trường hợp, u mỡ trong xương bướm thường được phát hiện tình cờ qua chụp cắt lớp vi tinh (CLVT) hoặc cộng hưởng từ (CHT) sọ não. Đây là một khối u phát triển chậm, ít gây ra triệu chứng, một số trường hợp gây triệu chứng khi khối u to chèn ép vào cấu trúc lân cận như tuyến yên hoặc dây thần kinh thị. Trong bài này, chúng tôi báo cáo một trường hợp u mỡ trong xương bướm không triệu chứng được phát hiện tình cờ và được chẩn đoán dựa vào phim chụp cộng hưởng từ sọ não. Bệnh nhân được khuyến nghị theo dõi định kỳ bằng cộng hưởng từ mà không phải tiến hành bất kỳ phương pháp điều trị nào. Từ khóa: U mỡ, xương bướm, MRI, cộng hưởng từ sọ não, chẩn đoán hình ảnh. ABSTRACT INTRAOSSEOUS LIPOMA OF SPHENOID BONE: A RARE CASE REVIEW Intraosseous lipoma is very rare, usually benign tumor of flat bones. The incidence of an intraosseous lipomalocated basal skull bones is extremely rare, especially in sphenoid bone. Radiological imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are used to detect the intraosseous lipoma by accident. These tumors are slow growing and usually asymptomatic, in some cases causing symptoms when the large tumor presses on nearby structures such as pituitary gland or the optic nerve. We present a rare case of lipomaof the sphenoid bone discovered incidentally with brain magnetic resonance imaging. The patient has been followed-up by magnetic resonance imaging without the need for surgery. Keywords: Intraosseous lipoma, sphenoid bone, MRI, brain MRI, diagnostic radiology

History Of

A 71-year-old woman with a history of left lower lobe lobectomy 4 years ago for adenocarcinoma of the lung presented with new mediastinal and bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy on surveillance imaging, suspicious for disease recurrence. She underwent an endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration of the lymph nodes and histology yielded non-necrotizing epithelioid granulomas with no evidence of malignancy. A diagnosis of sarcoid-like reaction associated with lung adenocarcinoma was made. The significance of this rare condition is discussed.

Initial Imaging

A 39-year-old man presented with severe COVID-19 pneumonitis requiring hospital admission. He represented three days following discharge with sudden onset breathlessness and chest pain. Initial imaging suggested the presence of a left pneumothorax. Following further clinical decline a plan was made to insert a CT guided chest drain. However, imaging in the prone position for the procedure unexpectedly revealed a large left lower lobe pneumatocele with only a very small pneumothorax. Events and appearances suggest that this is a rare case of delayed COVID-19 pneumonitis-related pneumatocele formation. We will discuss the clinical significance of this entity.
