“…When the lung parenchyma is affected the patient may present catamenial hemoptysis or assymptomatic lung nodules. 11,12 As we observed in our patient, pleural implants are more frequent on the right side, possibly due to cogenital defect of the right diaphragmatic hemi-cupula and the continuous fluid flow from pelvis to abdominal right upper quadrant. They can present as a unique or as multiple implants and its length varies from 1mm to some centimeters.…”

Pleural endometriosis is a rare condition that leads to anxiety and suffering on affected patients. We suspect of pleural endometriosis when pulmonary symptoms are associated with the menstrual cycle. We report a case of a 40year-old nulligravid patient who presented dispnea and thoracic pain during menstruation. The diagnosis was confirmed based on biopsy performed during exploratory thoractomy procedure.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in patients diagnosed with metastatic pulmonary calcification (MPC).Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the HRCT findings from 23 cases of MPC [14 men, 9 women; mean age, 54.3 (range, 26-89) years]. The patients were examined between 2000 and 2014 in nine tertiary hospitals in Brazil, Chile, and Canada. Diagnoses were established by histopathologic study in 18 patients and clinical-radiological correlation in 5 patients. Two chest radiologists analyzed the images and reached decisions by consensus.ResultsThe predominant HRCT findings were centrilobular ground-glass nodules (n = 14; 60.9%), consolidation with high attenuation (n = 10; 43.5%), small dense nodules (n = 9; 39.1%), peripheral reticular opacities associated with small calcified nodules (n = 5; 21.7%), and ground-glass opacities without centrilobular ground-glass nodular opacity (n = 5; 21.7%). Vascular calcification within the chest wall was found in four cases and pleural effusion was observed in five cases. The abnormalities were bilateral in 21 cases.ConclusionMPC manifested with three main patterns on HRCT, most commonly centrilobular ground-glass nodules, often containing calcifications, followed by dense consolidation and small solid nodules, most of which were calcified. We also described another pattern of peripheral reticular opacities associated with small calcified nodules. These findings should suggest the diagnosis of MPC in the setting of hypercalcemia.

“…Chest CT has been shown to be an important tool for the study of parenchymal lung disease, as has recently been discussed in the radiology literature of Brazil ( 25 - 32 ) . Contrary to what has been observed in some studies ( 4 , 14 ) , in which findings indicative of chronic lung disease have been reported in only 4% of patients with sickle cell disease, we observed a high frequency of such changes, which were present in 88.6% of the patients evaluated.…”

Changes seen on computed tomography of the chest in mildly symptomatic adult patients with sickle cell disease

ObjectiveTo describe and quantify the main changes seen on computed tomography of the chest in mildly symptomatic adult patients with sickle cell disease, as well as to evaluate the radiologist accuracy in determining the type of hemoglobinopathy.Materials and MethodsA prospective study involving 44 adult patients with sickle cell disease who underwent inspiration and expiration computed tomography of the chest. The frequency of tomography findings and the extent of involvement are reported. We also calculated radiologist accuracy in determining the type of hemoglobinopathy by analyzing the pulmonary alterations and morphology of the spleen.ResultsThe changes found on computed tomography scans, in descending order of frequency, were as follows: fibrotic opacities (81.8%); mosaic attenuation (56.8%); architectural distortion (31.8%); cardiomegaly (25.0%); lobar volume reduction (18.2%); and increased caliber of peripheral pulmonary arteries (9.1%). For most of the findings, the involvement was considered mild, five or fewer lung segments being affected. The accuracy in determining the type of hemoglobinopathy (HbSS group versus not HbSS group) was 72.7%.ConclusionIn adult patients with sickle cell disease, the main tomography findings reflect fibrotic changes. In addition, computed tomography can be helpful in differentiating among hemoglobinopathies.
