まとめ
肺リンパ管症癌腫症(PLC)は、まれで攻撃的な癌の広がりです。CTスキャンは他の肺疾患に似ている可能性があるため、早期診断と生検が重要であり、治療が遅れる可能性があります。
科学分野:
- 腫瘍学
- 肺医学
- 放射線学
背景:
- 肺リンパ管症癌腫症(PLC)は、まれで攻撃的な転移性癌です。
- 腫瘍塞栓が肺リンパ管系を介して広がり、間質に浸潤することを含みます。
- 放射線学的所見は間質性肺疾患または感染症に似ている可能性があり、診断が遅れる可能性があります。
研究 の 目的:
- 転移性乳がん患者におけるPLCの症例を記述すること。
- 非特異的なCT所見によるPLCの診断における課題を強調すること。
- 早期診断と生検の重要性を強調すること。
主な方法:
- 進行性の呼吸困難と咳を呈する中年女性の症例提示。
- 胸部CTスキャンでは、びまん性のまだらな気腔浸潤影と小葉間隔壁肥厚が明らかになった。
- 気管支鏡検査と生検により、HER2陽性乳がんの転移性リンパ管症への広がりが確認された。
主要な成果:
- 患者は肺炎に似た症状で現れたが、経験的治療に反応しなかった。CT所見は非特異的で、浸潤影と隔壁肥厚を示した。生検により、転移性乳がんによる肺リンパ管症癌腫症(PLC)が確認された。
結論:
- PLCの非定型的なCT所見は、間質性肺疾患に似ている可能性があります。
- PLCは攻撃的であり、しばしば進行した段階で診断されます。
- 確定診断と適時管理のためには、高い臨床的疑いと早期の組織生検が不可欠です。

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
1.3K
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
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...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Other Pulmonary Disorders

Respiratory disorders encompass a range of conditions with varying levels of severity. Asthma, marked by chronic airway inflammation and hypersensitivity, is one such condition. It can lead to airway obstruction due to factors like bronchial spasms, mucosal edema, increased mucus secretion, or epithelial damage. Asthma triggers are diverse, ranging from allergens to emotional upset, and treatment focuses on both immediate relief through bronchodilators and long-term inflammation suppression.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
377
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
