CHEST 2023 On Demand Pass-Localized Lung Lesions: Beyond Malignancy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this final session of the 2023 conference, several cases were presented for clinical pathological correlation. The first case was an 80-year-old female with a ground glass nodule in the right lower lobe. After several years of surveillance and growth, a VATS biopsy was performed and the final diagnosis was ciliated muconodular papillary tumor. The second case was a 51-year-old female with a growing right upper lobe nodule detected during surveillance of a thoracic dissection. The VATS biopsy revealed sclerosing pneumocytoma. The third case was a 58-year-old male with a right lower lobe nodule detected after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for esophageal cancer. VATS resection revealed localized organizing pneumonia with radiation atypia. The fourth case was a 73-year-old female with a right middle lobe nodule detected during surveillance screening. VATS resection revealed histoplasmosis granuloma. The fifth case was a 52-year-old female with a right upper lobe nodule detected during lung cancer screening. VATS resection revealed cryptococcosis. The sixth and final case was a 66-year-old male with a left upper lobe mass incidentally detected in 2016. VATS resection revealed granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Overall, this session highlighted the importance of careful evaluation and accurate diagnosis of lung nodules to guide appropriate management and treatment.
