Managing Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension With Cardiopulmonary Comorbidities
Chest. 2024 Mar;165(3):682-691. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.08.023.ABSTRACTPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with left-sided heart and lung diseases are most commonly easily discriminated and treated accordingly. With the changing epidemiology of PAH, however, a growing proportion of patients at the time of diagnosis present with comorbidities of varying severity. In addition to classical PAH, two distinct phenotypes have emerged: a heart failure with preserved ejection fraction-like phenotype and a lung phenotype. Importantly, the evidence supporting the currently proposed treatment...

A 49-Year-Old Man With Fever and Dyspnea After Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy
Chest. 2024 Mar;165(3):e65-e69. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.08.018.ABSTRACTA 49-year-old man, a farmer, had been experiencing coughing, phlegm, and difficulty breathing for 2 months. He underwent a CT scan at a local hospital that showed a mediastinal mass. Bronchoscopy showed no obstruction in the tracheal lumen, and an endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial fine needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) biopsy was performed on the mediastinal mass. The cytologic smear of the mediastinal mass showed a few atypical epithelial cells; the possibility of a tumor could not be ruled out. The patient visited our thoracic surgery outpa...

Late-Onset Diffuse Lung Disease in an 8-Year-Old Girl
Chest. 2024 Mar;165(3):e71-e74. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.08.005.ABSTRACTAn 8-year-old girl presented with a 34-day history of cough, fatigue, and impaired exercise tolerance. She experienced cyanosis on exertion but denied fever, hemoptysis, hematuria, or seizures. Her perinatal and family histories were unremarkable, and she had no history of exposure to TB. A chest radiogram from a local clinic showed diffuse pulmonary lesions. Tuberculin skin test, interferon-γ release assay, and HIV antibody test results were all negative. Immunoglobulin levels and lymphocyte subsets were normal. The patient did not respond to IV azi...

A Case of Persistent Lung Masses After Treatment of Hodgkin Lymphoma
Chest. 2024 Mar;165(3):e79-e84. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.11.010.ABSTRACTThe patient is a 49-year-old woman who had never used tobacco with a history of relapsing polychondritis and episcleritis. She sought treatment at our clinic for evaluation of multiple lung masses. She originally received a diagnosis by chest radiography performed to rule out sarcoidosis as the cause of episcleritis showing an abnormal findings. She had no contributory surgical, family, or social history. The autoimmune markers were notable for positive rheumatoid factor (153 IU/mL) and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (97 mm/h) and C-reactive ...
