A case of a myxomatous variant of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung is reported with clinicopathologic findings including its ultrastructure. The pathologic features of inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung are compared with similar tumors arising elsewhere and bear a close resemblance to granulation tissue, which suggests that inflammatory pseudotumors represent a reparative process rather than a neoplastic process. Recognition of this entity is imperative for a correct diagnosis and in order to differentiate it from malignant neoplasm, since only conservative management is necessary for its treatment.
We observed a remarkable clinical response to cisplatinum and cyclophosphamide in a patient with widespread metastatic transitional cell cancer of the prostate after hormonal therapy proved ineffective. Combination chemotherapy has the potential for an impressive response in these patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
