[Treatment of tracheobronchomegaly with an Ultraflex prosthesis. A case report].
Tracheobronchomegaly is defined as a dilatation of the trachea and the large bronchi. It may occur as a familial condition or in association with a connective tissue disease, e.g. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Tracheobronchomegaly occurs late in adults. The predominant symptoms are bronchial irritation and recurrent bronchopulmonary infections (because of ineffective cough). Diagnosis is provided by thoracic imaging, particularly computed tomography that enables measuring the precise diameter of the trachea. We report the case of one patient with tracheobronchomegaly who was greatly improved after implantation of Ultraflex tracheobronchial prostheses.

Unusual cause of recurrent pneumothorax: excavated metastasis of osteosarcoma.
We report the case of a recurrent right pneumothorax, revealing metastasis of an osteosarcoma, 40 months after complete remission. Seven years after surgical excision, the patient is still considered in complete remission. Pneumothorax is rarely the first manifestation of lung metastasis. Osteosarcoma is the most frequent primary tumor. Chest computed tomography detects excavated or subpleural lung metastasis. Differential diagnosis between benign and malignant bullous lesions is important because surgical excision affects survival in some malignancies.
