Abstract:
We report a case of Castleman disease which originated from the inter-lobar lymph node, with a review of literatures. A 19-year-old woman complaining of cough was pointed out to have an abnormal shadow in the left lung field on chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with enhancement revealed a homogeneous mass lesion at the left inter-lobar portion of the lung. Bronchoscopic findings demonstrated mucosal telangiectasis of the left lower bronchus. We performed the usual axillary thoracotomy and succeeded in extirpation of the tumor without large amount of bleeding. The tumor was elastic and hard, and 70 x 55 x 45 mm in size. Her postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged on the 12th postoperative day.

Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph Transport
This one-way system allows fluids, solutes, and even pathogens to enter but prevents their return to the intercellular spaces.
Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
