Abstract:
The aim of the case reports section of Archivos de Bronconeumología is to bring together unusual cases representing a substantial contribution to our understanding of the pathophysiology or other clinical and biological features of a disease. During 2007, 17 case descriptions were published in this section. They dealt with such diverse topics as lung cancer surgery, interventional radiology, and idiopathic interstitial diseases. The objective of this review is to call attention to the contributions of these cases by summarizing their main observations.
