A 54-year-old woman with respiratory symptoms underwent evaluations revealing a tracheal mass causing luminal narrowing. Emergency operation with rigid bronchoscopy and cryoablation successfully removed the tumor. Follow-up bronchoscopies showed a gradual reduction in residual tumor size, with no evidence of recurrence after 3.5 years postoperation. Tracheal schwannomas are exceedingly rare, often resulting in delayed diagnosis. Clinicians should maintain a high suspicion of tracheal tumors in patients with unexplained respiratory symptoms. Spirometry and flow volume loop analysis aid in identifying upper airway obstruction. Rigid bronchoscopy is preferred for diagnosis and treatment, ensuring airway stability and obtaining tissue samples. Surgical resection remains the mainstay, but observation after endoscopic resection may be considered. This case highlights the successful management of tracheal schwannoma through endoscopic resection and cryoablation, emphasizing the need for further studies and case reports on this rare entity.","PeriodicalId":52364,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Pulmonology","volume":"2024 ","pages":"2961560"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11498987/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142512763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a unique cause of severe airway destruction with lymphadenitis and bronchopleural fistula formation by the bacterium Gemella morbillorum. Case: A 24-year-old man presented with acute symptoms of vomiting, fever, and shoulder pain. A CT of the chest demonstrated a large subcarinal mass encasing the central bronchi. The workup for malignant, fungal, and granulomatous etiologies was unrevealing, while blood cultures identified G. morbillorum. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a perforation of the right middle lobar bronchus and the formation of a bronchopleural fistula, resulting in a large hydropneumothorax with empyema. Despite antibiotic therapy, surgical intervention to repair the fistula, and ventilatory support, the progression of the bronchopleural fistula led to fatal respiratory failure. Conclusion: In cases of severe mediastinal adenopathy in a young patient, bacterial lymphadenitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis with lymphoma, germ cell tumor, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, sarcoidosis, histoplasmosis, and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.","PeriodicalId":52364,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Pulmonology","volume":"2024 ","pages":"8850287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11268966/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141762568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strongyloides stercoralis causes a helminthic infection that occurs via penetration of the skin with migration to the bloodstream, tracheobronchial tree, and gastrointestinal system. Pulmonary manifestations are rare and are typically seen in immunosuppressed patients who have Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection syndrome. Eosinophilic pleural effusions are rare in strongyloidiasis and only cited in a few case reports. Case Presentation. A 45-year-old male with a past medical history of diabetes mellitus, alcoholic cirrhosis, and end-stage renal disease presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and dyspnea. Imaging studies demonstrated large bilateral pleural effusions, and he subsequently underwent an ultrasound-guided thoracentesis on the right hemithorax, yielding an exudative eosinophilic pleural effusion. An extensive hematology, gastroenterology, and infectious work-up was pursued. Strongyloides immunoglobulin G was positive, and he was successfully treated with ivermectin. Discussion. Eosinophilic pleural effusions related to strongyloidiasis are exceedingly rare. Clinicians should consider Strongyloides stercoralis infection as a part of the differential diagnosis when evaluating immunosuppressed patients with eosinophilic pleural effusions. Loculated abdominal fluid may also be a rare manifestation of Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection syndrome.","PeriodicalId":52364,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Pulmonology","volume":"36 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140732091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
