Kimura's disease as a solitary intrapulmonary lymphadenopathy [CASE REPORTS]
We report on a 38-year old woman with interlobar lymphadenopathy on contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography, which failed to be diagnosed using bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound. We performed a surgical biopsy to obtain a definitive diagnosis, while simultaneously removing the lesion. The pathology showed reactive follicular hyperplasia and a heavy infiltration of eosinophils with fibrosis in the inter-follicular area consistent with Kimura's disease.

An uncommon cause of tricuspid regurgitation: three-dimensional echocardiographic incremental value, surgical and genetic insights [CASE REPORTS]
We report a case of severe tricuspid regurgitation associated with functional mitral regurgitation in a 47-year-old man with congestive heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) ruled out any Ebstein's anomaly. Three-dimensional TTE revealed a ‘tricuspid hole’ into the anterior leaflet that was only attached to the tricuspid annulus next to both anteroseptal and anteroposterior commissures. There was no sign of leaflet tear or perforation. The surgical repair of the tricuspid and mitral valves was performed with an optimal result. No sign of endocarditis or rheumatic disease was observed during the in...
