Abstract:
Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is pathologically classified as an adenoma and behaves in a benign manner. However, some cases of PSP displayed pathologically malignant behavior, such as lymph node metastasis and necrosis. A 64-year-old woman was referred to our hospital complaining of a cough and breathlessness. Histopathological analysis of the resected specimen by left pneumonectomy and lymph node dissection revealed a large PSP measuring 15 × 14 cm in size, with massive necrosis and vascular invasion. This case was the largest ever reported and suggested that clinico-histological presentation of PSP sometimes showed an aggressive phenotype like advanced lung cancer.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
