14. Circumferential esophageal leiomyoma: Management by combined robotic surgery and intraoperative endoscopy.

Author

Amore, Dario, Casazza, Dino, Caterino, Umberto, Massa, Simona, Muto, Emanuele, and Curcio, Carlo

Abstract

Leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the esophagus. Open thoracotomy, the traditional approach adopted for the enucleation of the esophageal leiomyoma, over the years, has been gradually replaced by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. However, this minimally invasive approach has limitations, such as two-dimensional vision and reduced range of motion, which have recently been overcome by technical advantages of robot-assisted surgery. In the surgical management of circumferential esophageal leiomyoma, a combined use of robotic surgery and intraoperative endoscopy may be helpful to facilitate tumor enucleation and to prevent esophageal mucosal injury during the surgical procedure.

Abstract

Alectinib is a highly selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) that is approved as first-line treatment in adult patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and as second-line in patients previously treated with crizotinib, and has been shown in the literature to significantly prolong progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The authors describe a clinical case of a 24-year-old woman with malignant massive pleural effusion caused by ALK rearranged pulmonary adenocarcinoma with pleural and pericardial metastasis, in which, despite a dramatic clinical debut, the correct and timely management of the diagnostic and therapeutic path allowed for extraordinary therapeutic success.

Abstract

Anatomical variations of pulmonary venous drainage have been widely described in the literature in order to perform safe thoracic surgical procedures. We report a case of anomalous vein from the superior segment of the right lower lobe running in the posterior mediastinum and draining into the superior pulmonary vein. As the patient showed a usual right inferior pulmonary vein, formed by the union of the superior segment right lower lobe vein (V6) and the common basal vein joining the left atrium, the uncommon segmental pulmonary vein described was named: additional V6. It was identified preoperatively and recognized intraoperatively during thoracoscopic right lower lobectomy and lymph node dissection performed for lung cancer treatment. Diagnostic imaging and careful surgical dissection are helpful tools to avoid intraoperative bleeding and other complications during thoracic surgical procedures due to unrecognized vascular anomalies.

Abstract

We report a clinic case of patient in whom angiosarcoma of the heart presents as bilateral pulmonary nodular infiltrates. The cardiac tumor was clinically silent, the electrocardiogram was normal and the cough was the only symptom. Chest CT scan (Fig. 1) showed bilateral diffuse nodular infiltrates ranging. Clinical clues, the results of laboratory tests and all of the cultures obtained excluded an infectious etiologies; the findings of CT-guided needle biopsy was inconclusive for a definitive diagnosis. Thus, the patient was scheduled for a thoracoscopic biopsy. Surprisingly, the pre-operatory echocardiogram showed a soft tissue mass fixed to the posterior wall of the right atrium. On retrospective reviewing of chest CT scan, a tumor was evident in the right atrium, but it was missed initially. In theory, the lung lesions attract the attention of the observer who had not taken into account anything else as to say: "the brain knows what the eyes want". The diagnosis of pulmonary metastases was obtained by means of pleural biopsy during right thoracoscopy. Immunoistochemical staining revealed a CK(-), CK7(-), EMA(-), ESA(-), CEA(-), TTF1(-), Vimentina(+), CD31(+), CD117(+) lesion. Because at the time of diagnosis our patient already had lung metastases, he underwent chemotherapy

Abstract

Highlights • The drainage pattern of the pulmonary veins presents a wide range of anatomical variations. • Identification of anatomical variations in pulmonary veins can help avoid intraoperative complications. • A careful dissection during VATS lobectomy is essential to avoid intraoperative complications., Introduction The anatomical abnormalities in pulmonary veins can have a serious impact on pulmonary resections. Presentation of case We report the case of a 70-year-old woman undergoing VATS right upper lobectomy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. During subcarinal dissection, an anomalous vein draining from the superior segment of the right lower lobe into the left atrium and passing behind the bronchus intermedius was incidentally discovered. The patient had, in addition to the inferior pulmonary vein formed by the confluence of superior and common basal veins, a supernumerary vessel identified as: accessory right V6. Retrospective review of preoperative enhanced chest computed tomography confirmed the pulmonary vascular anomaly. Discussion/Conclusion A careful dissection during pulmonary resections can help to recognize variations of the pulmonary veins, avoiding unexpected intraoperative complications.

Abstract

Background: The lobar airway stenting remains an endoscopic procedure not well standardized in patients with locally advanced lung cancer disease. The goal of this study was to evaluate technical feasibility, clinical outcome, and complications of different stents in patients with malignant lesions involving lobar bronchi, primary and secondary carina. Methods: Between November 2008 and October 2013, we retrospectively analyzed 146 patients with benign and malignant tracheobronchial stenosis who underwent airway stent insertion below main carina and main bronchi. Results: In all, 170 airway stenting procedures were performed on 146 patients. In all, 51 of them with malignant peripheral airway stenosis underwent stents placement below main carina. In all but one patient, the deployment of stents was successful with improvement of symptoms. The chest radiograph after the procedure detected the lung re-expansion in 29 of 51 patients. The mean follow-up duration was 123 days ± 157. Complications observed included stent migration, tumor overgrowth, infections, granulation tissue formation, and obstruction due to tenacious secretions. Longer survival was observed in patients who received additional treatment after airway stenting compared to those who did not (p
