Long-term results of sleeve lobectomy in the management of non-small cell lung carcinoma and low-grade neoplasms.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the operative mortality, morbidity, and long-term survival of sleeve lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer and low-grade neoplasms. We evaluated the effects of neoadjuvant therapy on the ... Read more...

Latissimus dorsi myoclonus after video assisted thoracoscopic lung volume reduction.

29 Sep 2009 Myoclonus as a sequel to thoracotomy has been reported, and its treatment can be challenging to both the patient and the surgeon. We describe a 43-year-old patient with chest wall pain and latissimus dorsi muscle contractions (myoclonus) after ... Read more...

Primary pulmonary rhabdomyosarcoma in an adult with neurofibromatosis-1.

29 Sep 2009 Rhabdomyosarcomas arising in various tissues associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 have been sporadically described in children and young adults. We report a unique case of primary pulmonary rhabdomyosarcoma in an adult with neurofibromatosis ... Read more...
