This document is a research letter published in the journal Lung India. It describes a very rare case of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the lung without sequestration. The patient presented with abnormal vessels extending from the celiac trunk to the inferior vena cava, supplying the lung. This condition is a congenital abnormality that is usually associated with pulmonary sequestration, but in this case, the sequestration was absent. The document provides a brief overview of bronchopulmonary sequestration and discusses the rarity of systemic arterial supply to the lung without sequestration. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses a rare case of isolated tracheal mucormycosis in a patient with diabetes mellitus. The authors highlight the importance of bronchoscopic management in treating this condition, as nearly 30% of patients with isolated tracheobronchial mucormycosis may require therapeutic bronchoscopy. They describe a case in which a 49-year-old man with poorly controlled diabetes presented with airway obstruction due to mucormycosis and required airway stenting. The patient was successfully treated with a combination of bronchoscopic intervention and antifungal therapy. The article emphasizes the need for a high index of suspicion and appropriate management strategies for this uncommon condition. [Extracted from the article]

This document discusses a rare case of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the lung without sequestration. The case involves a 43-year-old male who was incidentally diagnosed with this congenital anomaly during a routine medical examination. The patient had a history of hemoptysis 10 years prior, which was managed conservatively. The article provides an overview of systemic arterial supply to the lung and emphasizes the rarity of this specific anomaly. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses a rare case of fungal pneumonia causing a mycotic subclavian aneurysm. The patient, a 52-year-old female farmer with asthma and recently diagnosed diabetes, presented with symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, and hemoptysis. Imaging revealed a subclavian artery aneurysm and lung abnormalities consistent with mucormycosis. Despite treatment with antifungals and planned surgical repair, the patient experienced a cardiac arrest and did not survive. The article highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing pulmonary mucormycosis and emphasizes the importance of early empirical therapy and aggressive surgical intervention.
