摘要:

We describe a rare case of bullous emphysema occurring in a young male with sarcoidosis. The patient had progressive pulmonary symptoms over 14 years. Chest radiology showed bilateral bullae predominantly of both upper and the left lower lobes and mild bronchiectasis. Pulmonary function tests revealed mild restrictive disease and a severe reduction in diffusion capacity. Loss of alveolar surface area due to bullous disease contributes to functional and physiological impairment of lung function in sarcoidosis.

摘要:

A case of invasive thymoma with hypogammaglobulinemia showing endobronchial growth is presented. A 63-year-old man was admitted for evaluation of a left hilar mass. A biopsy specimen obtained from the intraluminal mass, which occluded the left upper division bronchus, was highly suggestive of thymoma. The laboratory tests were almost normal except for hypogammaglobulinemia. The tumor was resected with the left upper lobe. Most of the tumor invaded the left upper lobe, and grew into the bronchi. The case was diagnosed histologically as invasive thymoma spreading within the bronchial lumen.
