A 53-year-old male with a intra-pulmonary suture abscess was admitted with recurrent hemoptysis. Five year before this admission, he had undergone a partial resection of the left upper lobe for pneumothorax using unabsorbable sutures (braided polyester). Chest CT showed tumor shadow in the left S1(+2) a on admission. Because of recurrent hemoptysis, left upper lobectomy was performed. Hemoptysis was due to the presence of a suture abscess. Pathological and clinical analysis of the intra-pulmonary suture abscess showed that it was caused not only by foreign body reaction but also transbronchial infection.

Ambulatory facilities are being used more and more for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. We report 183 consecutive mediastinoscopies and/or anterior mediastinotomies performed in an ambulatory setting from July 1981 to January 1991. There were 140 patients with a neoplasia: 131 bronchogenic carcinomas, 5 lymphomas, 2 carcinoid tumors, 1 teratocarcinoma, 1 carcinoma of the stomach. Forty-three patients had a benign condition, including 32 sarcoidosis and 11 miscellaneous diseases. Twenty-eight (15%) patients were admitted the same day: 12 for elective surgery in view of bed availability, 9 for medical observation, and 7 required overnight admission for non-medical reasons. Eight non-fatal complications were encountered: hemoptysis (2), atrial fibrillation (1), pneumonia (1), mediastinal self-contained bleed (1), tear of a pulmonary artery (1), temporary palsy of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (1) and wound infection (1). There was no operative mortality. Overall, ambulatory mediastinoscopy and anterior mediastinotomy permitted a diagnosis in 58 patients (29%), and confirmed unresectable malignant disease in 36 patients, thus sparing unnecessary admission to a surgical ward in 89 (49%) of the 183 patients. Mediastinoscopy and anterior mediastinotomy are safe in an ambulatory setting and alleviate the need for hospitalization in a substantial number of patients.

A prospective study is performed in 108 patients presenting hemoptysis who were attended in the emergency department. Final diagnosis was achieved in 89 cases (82.4%), being lung infections of tuberculous origin or not, neoplasias, and chronic obstructive lung emphysema the main observed etiologies. A low percentage of severe hemoptysis is found (5.6%). Diagnosis was obtained in 79.6% of patients by clinical history, physical exam, chest x-ray and ORL exam. Only 13.6% of patients who were not diagnosed in the Emergency department were later diagnosed by follow up and performance of complementary tests. Similarly, the lack of an initial etiological diagnosis had no repercussion, by itself, in a worse prognosis. Therefore, it is recommended to perform a single strict evolution control in patients with hemoptysis of unknown origin who present risk factors of lung neoplasia (male sex, age greater than 40 years, smoking greater than 45 packs/year).

Endobronchial neoplastic disease is rarely encountered in patients under 20 years of age. The great majority of these lesions are carcinoids or mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Symptoms are secondary to bronchial irritation and manifest as recurrent pneumonitis, hemoptysis, persistent cough, reactive airway disease, and chest pain. Early bronchoscopy reliably enables identification and may prevent harmful sequelae resulting from delay in diagnosis. Retrospective data from four cases collected from the Tumor Registry in the Southern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Group is presented and a review of the literature is discussed.

A case of a 55-year-old female with tuberculous false aneurysm of the descending aorta is reported. She was admitted to our hospital on February, 1989 with hemoptysis and lumbago. Active pulmonary tuberculosis, caries of the 1st and 2nd abdominal vertebrae, and abnormal left lower mediastinal tumor shadow were confirmed by roentgenogram. Aortography and computer tomography revealed a false aneurysm of the descending aorta. After anti-tuberculous chemotherapy, fist sized false aneurysm was resected and the punch out hole of the descending aorta, 8 mm in diameter was closed successfully using partial extracorporeal circulation. Histologic examination of the aneurysmal wall revealed granulomatous formation containing numerous giant cells. She is doing well, 7 months after surgery.

A 68 years old white man complaining of hemoptysis in the last 2 months was admitted for evaluation. He was a heavy smoker and thorax radiography as week as CT Scan showed a 5 cm mass in the right pulmonary hilum. Endoscopy with biopsy demonstrated an adenocarcinoma of middle lobe. He was operated on and a tumor was found in the middle lobe with invasion of the other two lobes and pericardium. A right pneumectomy was performed. In the 10th postoperative day the patient sustained a pulmonary thromboembolism. A pulmonary scintigraphy showed hypoperfusion of large areas of left lung. He was medically treated and had a good response. The patient was discharged in the 22nd postoperative day. Pulmonary thromboembolism in bowen more severe in patients with single lung, nevertheless the recovery of this patients was good with early diagnosis and treatment.

A presentation is given of a 23-year-old girl who due to cough, hemoptysis and chest pains was treated in the regional hospital as having pneumonia. A bronchoscopy was performed and it revealed the tumor which obturated the right main bronchus. Due to this, surgery was performed. The cytologic analysis of the sample, taken intraoperatively, showed that numerous fibroblasts, single or combined in groups, lymphocytes, plasma cells, mastocytes and some neutrophilic granulocytes were present as well as macrophages.

The 26-year-old man experienced symptoms of chronic airway obstruction with shortness of breath, cough and wheezing, which primarily led to a diagnosis of asthma bronchiale. Absence of adequate response to antiasthmatic treatment and development of hemoptysis and weight loss led to the tentative diagnosis of upper airway obstruction by tumor. Bronchoscopy revealed adenoid cystic carcinoma of the distal trachea.

An oncocytic variant of glomus tumor of the trachea occurred in a 47-year-old woman. She experienced intermittent cough and hemoptysis for about three years. Bronchoscopy and chest CT scan showed a small reddish polypoid tumor on the lower end of the trachea. Bronchoscopic biopsy was carefully done and was diagnosed as oncocytoma. A wedge resection of the tumor was done. Tumor cells were characterized by strongly eosinophilic granular cytoplasm on light microscopy and by numerous closely packed round or ovoid mitochondria with prominent tubular cristae on electron microscopy. They were arranged in a sheet around small vessels, as a result of which the biopsy diagnosis of oncocytoma was changed to oncocytic glomus tumor. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an oncocytic glomus tumor arising from the trachea.

We describe a case of fibrous histiocytoma of the trachea diagnosed in a 17-year-old female who presented with symptoms of 'asthma'. Management included rigid bronchoscopy with biopsy and debulking of this obstructing tumor, later excised with partial tracheal resection. Although tracheal tumors are quite rare in children, the majority (6/9) of reported cases of fibrous histiocytoma of the trachea have been described in the pediatric age group. The possibility of a tracheal neoplasm as a cause of wheezing, stridor or hemoptysis in children should be recognized. Control of the airway without tracheotomy may facilitate surgical cure via tracheal resection in such cases.
