Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis [LCH] is a smoking-related interstitial lung disease characterized by development of bronchiolocentric lesions containing histiocytic cells called Langerhans cells. Treatment options for patients with pulmonary LCH are limited. We report a unique case of Langerhans cell histiocytosis with prominent lung, bony and lymph node involvement that responded to treatment with systemic 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine [2-CDA] treatment.

  • Anti-PL-7 antibody-positive dermatomyositis with progressive interstitial pneumonia complicated with tracheal ulcer

    2021, Respiratory Medicine Case Reports
    Citation Excerpt :

    Non-traumatic tracheal ulcers are rare findings on bronchoscopy. They are thought to be caused by airway invasion from solid tumors or lymphoma, airway lesions from antimicrobial or fungal infections, or radiation therapy or endotracheal intubation [11,12]. In this Case, there were no malignancy, granulomatous lesion, or pathological findings suggestive of infection at the ulcer site, and the luminal findings improved with anti-inflammatory treatment, and we diagnosed the ulcer to be a DM-associated tracheal ulcer.

  • Post-thyroidectomy tracheocutaneous fistula; A case report with literature review

    2020, International Journal of Surgery Case Reports
    Citation Excerpt :

    The disruption of the airway has been reported with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, tracheal necrosis may occur as a secondary effect with subsequent spontaneous perforation [2]. Prolonged intubation has also been reported as an iatrogenic cause for tracheal disruption, either as a result of direct traumatic injury or continued pressure leading to tissue ischemia and necrosis [4]. However, only few reports can be seen in the literature describing tracheal necrosis after thyroidectomy [1].

  • Spontaneous tracheal rupture in a 1-year-old child

    2015, Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports
    Citation Excerpt :

    The membranous portion of the trachea is the weakest and is exclusively involved in spontaneous tracheal rupture [1]. Patients with spontaneous rupture usually have some preceding history whether this is coughing, vomiting, or choking [2–5]. Acute respiratory distress associated with cervical surgical emphysema is invariably noted.
