Fluoroscopically guided percutaneous needle aspiration of focal pulmonary lesions was performed in 108 presumed infectious episodes in 82 immunocompromised patients in whom prior diagnostic studies, including transtracheal aspiration, were negative to inconclusive. Two-thirds of the lesions were 4 cm or smaller. Single (61/79) or multiple (18/79) organisms were recovered, for a diagnostic yield of 73% (79/108). Complications were pneumothorax (26%), half of which required tube drainage, and limited hemoptysis (3%). This technique can be quickly performed and frequently repeated with existing personnel and equipment in institutions currently employing it for suspected pulmonary neoplasm, and is a productive study in the evaluation of "opportunistic pneumonia".

A 74-year-old male cigarette smoker presented with hemoptysis and a right upper lobe infiltrate. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a small (1 x 2 mm) benign-appearing lesion in the right upper lobe bronchus which, on biopsy, was a submucosal capillary hemangioma. This is an exceedingly rare tumor and, to our knowledge, hemoptysis from these lesions in the proximal bronchi has not been previously reported.

In a prospective study of 6,027 older men screened every six months for ten years by means of chest photofluorograms and questionnaires regarding symptoms, 121 developed lung cancer after the first examination. Eighty-five men with lung cancer had the opportunity to be screened eight times before the tumor was detected by chest x-ray film, but only 33 actually reported that often. These 33 men were compared with matched controls for symptoms before the neoplasm was detected radiologically. The common symptoms of expectoration and chronic cough showed a significant increase in frequency over time in the cases of cancer, while only expectoration showed a slight increase in the controls. Uncommon symptoms more suggestive of lung cancer (hemoptysis and worsening cough) occurred in only four men prior to detection of cancer. Symptoms are seldom useful in the detection of occult lung cancer, but the appearance of expectoration and chronic cough in older male smokers should raise a suspicion of this disease.

Pulmonary hemorrhage is generally due to neoplasm, tuberculosis, necrotizing pneumonia, or bronchiectasis. If these are not found, kidney diseases, including anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody-induced bleeding (Goodpasture's syndrome), should be considered. Hemoptysis in renal disease is more often due to azotemic hypervolemia than immune reaction. Typically linear immunofluorescent patterns along the glomerular and pulmonary alveolar basement membranes must be demonstrated to confirm the diagnosis of Goodpasture's syndrome.

A 26-year-old white man underwent amputation of the right lower extremity for a chondrosarcoma of the distal femur. Eleven years later, after a long symptom-free interval, he was hospitalized for rapidly progressive dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, and hemoptysis resulting from a large pulmonary metastasis that had extended directly to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein. Within 24 hours of hospitalization, obstruction of the left commom iliac artery by tumor embolus necessitated embolectomy. This represents the second report of a metastatic chondrosarcoma involving the left atrium. The case presented clinically as an atrial myxoma and disseminated via the systemic circulation with a rapidly downhill course therafter.

The development of therapeutic bronchoscopy into diagnostic bronchoscopy is described. Based on a personal experience of more than 35,000 bronchoscopies, attention is given to some important points in diagnosis and therapy. In diagnosis, these factors include: 1) color of mucosa, 2) structure of cartilage, 3) minimal tissue changes (nodules, vessels, folds), 4) tonus, 5) secretion, 6) miscellaneous peculiarities. Therapeutic studies involve: 1) recanalisation (from secretion to foreign body and tumor), 2) scrubbing (in treatment of fibrinous bronchitis and tracheitis, 3) bougies, 4) irrigation, 5) washing (for status asthmaticus, aspiration of gastric contents, etc.), 6) tamponade for persistent hemoptysis.

A 26-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of hemoptysis and progressive upper airway obstruction. Roentgenograms and bronchoscopy confirmed a tracheal tumor, and a primary leiomyosarcoma was resected.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the trachea is rare. Its occurence in a 14-year-old boy is reported here. This case illustrates the typical course of tracheal tumors with clinical manifestations of cough, wheezing, and hemoptysis, the intially reported normal chest roentgenogram, and the common failure to diagnose tracheal tumor for several months. Early use of tomographic studies and bronchoscopic examination in any person with recent onset of airway obstruction unresponsive to bronchodilator therapy is recommended.

A 55-years old patient is reported who became ill with recurrent attacks of coughing and haemoptysis some 3 weeks before death. An extensive mediastinal tumor was demonstrated radiologically. Pathoanatomical examination showed a pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the lower left pulmonary lobe with metastases in the right lung and regional lymph nodes.

A 23-year-old Spanish male presenting with hemoptysis, fever and radiologic signs of lung tumor was found to have hydatid disease of the lung with rupture into the bronchial system. Diagnosis was possible only by demonstration of scoleces in the sputum. The cyst was totally enucleated by surgery. The epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of this quite rare disease are briefly reviewed with special reference to immunology, radiology and cytology.
