Atelectasis
BACKGROUND: Although right middle lobe (RML)-atelectasis of the lungs is a common complication of asthma, the relevant data is limited. The aim of this study is to define the characteristics of RML atelectasis in asthma during childhood. METHODS: Children with asthma who had recently developed RML atelectasis were[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Substernal Goiter
Chest radiographs showed tracheal deviation in 79 percent and soft tissue mass in 56 percent.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract We report the case of a 61-year-old female, who presented with a history of chronic fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, a widened mediastinum with tracheal deviation on[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Preoperative imaging identified tracheal deviation in 69% and tracheal compression in 41% of the cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pneumothorax
Note the tracheal deviation to the left. Prognosis If the pneumothorax was an isolated event and treatment was initiated early, the prognosis is excellent.[emedicine.medscape.com]
deviation Hyper-resonance to percussion Decreased breath sounds In tension pneumothorax: Raised JVP, pulsus paradoxus, marked tracheal deviation, Tachycardia 135, hypotension[oxfordmedicaleducation.com]
Note the tracheal deviation to the left. Etiology Simple or complicated pneumothorax is very common in both blunt (38%) and penetrating (64%) pediatric chest injuries.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Hemothorax

Complete collapse of the lung may be followed by tracheal deviation and mediastinal shift.[brooksidepress.org]
Pleural Effusion
Large effusion: complete shadowing of the lung with mediastinal shift and tracheal deviation away from the effusion Lateral decubitus view : demonstrates whether fluid is[amboss.com]
A large effusion there may cause tracheal deviation away from the effusion.[en.wikipedia.org]
Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung
PURPOSE: To present a case of cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) in a patient with small cell carcinoma of the lung and antiretinal antibodies who experienced visual symptoms before diagnosis of cancer. DESIGN: Case report. METHODS: A 61-year-old man with a sudden loss of vision and photophobia was referred to[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Bronchogenic Carcinoma
Abstract When a pre-existing lung cavity is colonized by Aspergilius fumigatus, it forms a fungal ball (pulmonary aspergilloma) and the presenting symptom is usually haemoptysis that may be massive and often-times life threatening. The radiological finding is that of a ball-like structure within a lung cavitation and[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Bronchial Adenocarcinoma
Abstract Painful soft tissue masses may in rare instances correspond to intramuscular metastases from an unknown malignant neoplasia. We report an unusual case of a muscular metastasis to the flexor compartment of the forearm as the first clinical manifestation of an asymptomatic bronchial adenocarcinoma in a[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer
Background: The treatment efficacy of second-line chemotherapy in poor-risk patients with refractory-relapsed small-cell lung cancer is unclear. Methods: We defined refractory relapse as treatment-free interval Results: Twenty-three poor-risk patients with refractory-relapsed small-cell lung cancer were treated[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pleurisy
Abstract Pleurisy with or without effusion has not been considered to be associated with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), but rather to represent a manifestation of the underlying disorder, usually rheumatoid arthritis in secondary SS. We describe a patient with primary SS who presented with pleural effusions[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
