Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segment is a rare congenital vascular anomaly, particularly when complicated by dissection of the feeding artery. This case report aims to present a unique instance of this condition and to review relevant literature. We present a young patient who was hospitalized with sudden chest pain, leading to the discovery of an anomalous artery originating from the thoracic aorta that supplied blood to the basal segment of the left inferior lobe of the lung, accompanied by dissection of the feeding artery. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the anomalous vessel via thoracotomy, and postoperative recovery was unremarkable during follow-up evaluations. This case highlights the importance of recognizing anomalous systemic arterial supply as a potential cause of acute chest pain and underscores the need for timely surgical intervention.

Background Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that arises at various sites and typically originates from the pleura. Most patients with SFTPs are asymptomatic, unless the tumor is large. Approximately 20% of SFTP cases are malignant. There are few reports on imaging diagnoses and interventional treatments of SFTP. Here, we report a case of a giant SFTP that exhibited malignant behavior and underwent successful resection after embolization of the main supply artery of the tumor. Case presentation We report a clinical case of a giant SFTP in a 66-year-old Chinese female patient complaining of chest tightness and cough for more than 2 months. Ten years ago, the patient had undergone a chest CT scan at a local hospital for cough. Computed tomography (CT) had revealed a mass in the right thoracic region, which was misdiagnosed as a pulmonary abscess by CT-guided biopsy. Therefore, the patient did not receive appropriate/complete treatment at that time. She was hospitalized again, because CT showed significant enlargement of the right thoracic mass, which caused her obvious symptoms of discomfort. The pathological results of CT-guided biopsy at our hospital confirmed SFTP. Considering the large size of the tumor and the rich blood supply, some of the main blood vessels were treated with embolization before surgical resection. A large tumor, about 23 cm × 16 cm × 15 cm in size, was then successfully removed by thoracic surgery. The diagnosis of malignant SFTP was confirmed by surgical pathology and immunohistochemistry. Conclusion Imaging findings of SFTPs are not characteristic, especially when a tumor is large, the diagnosis is difficult, and the final diagnosis still depends on histological and immunohistochemical examinations. The two-stage surgical treatment described here, which involves first embolization of the main supplying artery of the large tumor and then complete surgical resection, is effective and safe for SFTPs. Whether needle biopsy or vascular embolization is performed, intervention plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with SFTPs.

BACKGROUND:Pulmonary Cryptococcosis is a common fungal infection mainly caused by Cryptococcus neoformans/C.gattii species in immunocompromised patients. Cases of pulmonary cryptococcosis in patients with normal immune function are increasingly common in China. Clinical and radiographic features of pulmonary cryptococcosis are various and without obvious characteristics, so it is often misdiagnosed as pulmonary metastatic tumor or tuberculosis. When coexisting with malignant lung tumors, it was more difficult to differentiate from metastatic lung cancer, although the coexistence of pulmonary cryptococcosis and central type lung cancer is rare. Reviewing the imaging manifestations and diagnosis of the case and the relevant literature will contribute to recognition of the disease and a decrease in misdiagnoses.CASE PRESENTATION:A 72-year-old immunocompetent Han Chinese man had repeated dry cough for more than half a year. CT examination of chest showed an irregular mass at the left hilum of the lung, and two small nodules in the right lung, which were considered as the left central lung cancer with right lung metastasis. However, the patient was diagnosed with pulmonary cryptococcosis coexisting with central type lung cancer based on the results of laboratory examination, percutaneous lung biopsy, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and surgical pathology. The patient underwent surgical resection of the left central type lung cancer and was placed on fluconazole treatment after a positive diagnosis was made. Five years after the lung cancer surgery, the patient had a recurrence, but the pulmonary cryptococcus nodule disappeared.CONCLUSION:Our case shows that CT findings of central type lung cancer with multiple pulmonary nodules are not necessarily metastases, but may be coexisting pulmonary cryptococcosis. CT images of cryptococcosis of the lung were diverse and have no obvious characteristics, so it was very difficult to distinguish from metastatic tumors. CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy was a simple and efficient method for identification.

Objective To investigate the value of air bronchogram and vacuole sign coexistence in CT diagnosis of non-nodular or mass type pulmonary cryptococcosis. Methods The CT images of 65 PC patients were retrospectively analyzed which were confirmed by biopsy or surgical pathology,the CT characteristics of PC patients were evaluated,especially air bronchogram and vacuole sign coexistence. Results Of the 65 PC patients,41 cases were non-nodular or mass type,the air bronchogram and vacuole sign coexistence were found in 10 cases in CT images,the occurrence rate was 24.4%.According to the CT images,the PC could be divided into 3 types:nodule or mass type,patchy infiltration type,mixed type.The phenomenon were presented in patchy infiltration type 6 cases and in mixed type 4 cases,did not appear in the nodule or mass type. These lesions were located in the right lower lobe and the left lower lobe,each had 5 cases(n=5).When air bronchogram appeared,the bronchial wall was smooth without local expansion,narrow or tortuosity. When vacuole sign appeared,7 cases had single vacuole and 3 cases had multiple vacuoles.2 cases with vacuoles were scattered distributed,1 case with vacuoles was partially fused in the others.The relationship between the two was that the vacuoles were located in the distal end of the bronchus in 7 cases,proximal in 1 case,parallel in 2 cases.The vacuoles and the bronchus were not connected.The diameter of the vacuole was greater than bronchial lumen. Conclusion Air bronchogram and vacuole sign coexistence may be a special CT sign of non-nodular or mass type PC,which may have a great value in differential diagnosis of PC and the other pulmonary lesions.
