Possible Causes for Pulmonary Coin Lesion

Lung Hamartoma

Chondroid hamartomas account for 7-14% of pulmonary coin lesions. [4] Calcifications are often present in a diffuse or popcorn distribution (popcorn calcification). [9] In [mjdrdypu.org]

These uncommon lesions appear on chest radiograph as a "coin lesion" that has a differential diagnosis of granuloma and localized malignant neoplasm. [library.med.utah.edu]

Radiography Pulmonary hamartomas are usually asymptomatic and are typically discovered as an incidental coin lesion on a routine chest radiograph. [thehealthscience.com]

Dirofilaria Immitis

One of the extremely rare etiologies of the solitary pulmonary coin lesion is the human pulmonary dirofilariasis (HPD). [jtd.amegroups.com]

An asymptomatic patient with a pulmonary coin lesion surgically diagnosed with pulmonary dirofilariasis caused by infection with Dirofilaria immitis (D. immitis) is presented [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

D. immitis in humans most often cause pulmonary nodules known as 'coin lesions' which are benign and asymptomatic, but it is very important for thoracic surgery that they [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Coccidioidomycosis

Primary pulmonary lesions sometimes leave nodular coin lesions that must be distinguished from tumors, TB, and other granulomatous infections. [msdmanuals.com]

Primary pulmonary lesions sometimes leave nodular coin lesions that must be distinguished from tumors, tuberculosis, and other granulomatous infections. [merckmanuals.com]

Lesions may cavitate or form nodular-like coin lesions. [msdmanuals.com]

Pulmonary Histoplasmosis

Chest X-ray films showed diffuse nodules (coin-like lesions) in the lungs in each case. Histoplasmosis was taken into consideration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Differential diagnosis included paragonimiasis, pulmonary tuberculosis, and pulmonary infection of other causes. Direct examination of sputum was negative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Bronchogenic Carcinoma

We report a case of localized fibrous mesothelioma (LFM) of the pleura with bronchogenic carcinoma. LFM arose in the visceral pleura of the upper lobe in the left lung, and lung adenocarcinoma was located in the ipsilateral lower lobe. LFM is a rare mesenchymal tumor of the pleura. Concomitant occurrence with[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Nephroblastoma

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The outcomes of nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor, WT) in our institute and other developing countries are notably below results in most developed countries. The objective of this study was to review treatment outcomes of pediatric nephroblastoma in southern Thailand during the past decade and[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Testicular Embryonal Carcinoma and Seminoma

Lymphatic drainage of the testes is known to follow a predictable pathway that usually involves the retroperitoneal, paraaortic, paracaval and interaortocaval nodal chains. Herein we report the case of a 41 years old man with a stage I testicular seminoma, with an unexpected inguinal lymph node metastasis. During his[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neurilemmoma

Neurilemmomas of the tongue have only been sporadically reported in the literature. Vague symptoms and limited knowledge of this kind of tumor may result in long delays before diagnosis and treatment. The rarity of the lesion in this area is the main reason why we report this case of neurilemmoma. After[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection in a patient with underlying immune suppression and organ transplant. Clinical syndromes are varied and ranges from pulmonary, disseminated, cutaneous along with central nervous system involvement.

Mycobacterium Avium Complex

This study analyzed the recurrence rate and risk factors for recurrence of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease in patients successfully treated for this disease. The medical records of 158 patients successfully treated for MAC lung disease at a tertiary referral center in South Korea between March[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Echinococcus Infection of Lung

Echinococcosis is still a serious problem particularly in endemic areas such as South and Central America, Mediterranean countries, and Russia. Furthermore, hydatid cysts of the lung are often indistinguishable from a variety of other pulmonary lesions such as lung tumors We herein present a 56 year old woman with[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Bronchial Adenoma

Abstract Bronchial adenomas consist of a mixed group of neoplasms with varying degrees of malignancy. Although Mueller [1] first described these tumors in 1882, the term “bronchial adenoma” did not become popular until 1930 when this term was used to distinguish this group of tumors from the more malignant[…] [link.springer.com]

Pulmonary Lymphoma

A 59-year-old woman presented to The University of South Alabama, Mobile, Ala, with the complaint of shortness of breath. A chest radiograph showed bilateral nodules and interstitial infiltrates. The diagnosis of lymphoma was suggested on bronchial brush smears. Biopsy revealed a multifocal centrocyte-like lymphoid[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We report a 74-year-old woman with cervical cancer who developed pulmonary cryptococcosis which presented as a solitary focal ground-glass opacity (GGO) on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Serial HRCT showed the progression from the GGO to a discrete solid nodule. We hypothesize that the initial GGO[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Histoplasmosis

Histoplasmosis is a mycosis that is most commonly found in the in the midwestern regions of the United States. It is rare for symptoms to show up when histoplasmosis is present. In the rare symptomatic cases, symptoms occur usually a few weeks after exposure. The acute phase of histoplasmosis is characterized by[…] [symptoma.com]

Dirofilariasis

We present two cases of pulmonary dirofilariasis presenting as coin lesions in the lung, which were clinically suggestive of malignancy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
