Abstract

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) originated from mature post thymic T cells. They represent 1–3% of NHL. Different subtypes have been described: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative ALCL, ALK-positive ALCL and breast implant-associated ALCL. ALK-positive ALCL affects mainly the young and has better prognosis. We present a case report of an adult woman with AKL-positive ALCL, diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspirate (EBUS-TBNA). A 59-year-old women with no history of breast implants, was admitted for a four-month low back pain. Initially, the patient was treated for a spondyloarthropathy, but due to persistence of the symptoms, a lumbosacral MRI was performed, showing changes in morphology and signal intensity in the vertebral body of L3, along with edema and a paravertebral collection that affected the left psoas muscle, suggesting granulomatous spondylodiscitis. Chest CT-scan showed mild left pleural effusion, subcarinal and right hiliar adenomegalies. An EBUS-TBNA with ROSE (rapid on-site evaluation) was performed showing positive findings for malignancy, suggestive of hematolymphoid neoplasia. Pathology analysis showed an AKL-positive ALCL. Additionally, a biopsy of paravertebral tissue biopsy was obtained, which was consistent with the nodal sample. Chemotherapy was initiated with the CHOP protocol: cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine sulfate and prednisone. EBUS-TBNA is a minimally invasive and safe technique for obtaining mediastinal samples. Collaboration with a cytopathologist trained to perform ROSE improves the diagnostic performance.

Abstract

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare disease characterized by the deposition of microliths in the alveoli, attributed to mutations in the solute carrier family 34 member 2 (SLC34A2) gene. Diagnosis is often incidental to chest imaging, most frequently occurring between the second and fourth decades of life. The disease follows a progressive course and manifests with a clinical-radiological dissociation. No effective treatment is known except for lung transplantation.We report on a 28-year-old Hispanic male patient with no relevant personal or family history, presenting with progressive exertional dyspnea and intermittent dry cough. He was referred for evaluation by pulmonology due to abnormal findings on chest x-ray. High-resolution computed tomography revealed diffuse lung opacities caused by multiple microcalcifications, suggesting pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis with additional signs of pulmonary hypertension. Throughout his clinical course, he experienced a decline in functional class with severe impairment in pulmonary function tests. He underwent transplant evaluation, and the procedure was performed, with reported complications including airway stenosis, which were managed. Despite these challenges, the patient eventually showed positive progress and maintained an adequate functional class.Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare disease with a chronic clinical course and variable manifestations. Its progressive deterioration leads to chronic respiratory failure. A high index of suspicion is required when evaluating characteristic radiological findings and conducting relevant differential diagnoses. No specific treatment guidelines are available, and lung transplantation emerges as the only effective therapy, as illustrated in the described patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
