[Pleural thymoma. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].

The authors report a case of pleural tumor discovered in case of thoracic pain in a 72 year old woman. This lesion, discovered on chest X-Ray, developed in the left costo-vertebral groove and was seen as a homogeneous opacity, multilobate, well-defined. CT confirmed the pleural origin, showed a thickening of posterior pleural, a polylobate tumor well-defined on its lung side, non-invasive and of tissue density. Histopathological examination of the operative specimen showed it to be a thymoma with an exceptional localization.

[X-ray pictures in pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii. Nine cases of immunodepressed patients (author's transl)].

The authors analyse the pulmonary symptoms found by X-Ray in nine immunodepressed patients who were hosts to Pneumocystis carinii. The radiological abnormalities do not generally appear early nor are they specific; the syndrome of diffuse alveolar consolidation only appears at a late stage, it is most serious in the base and the peri-hilar regions, but does not affect the apex. It would appear that no prognostic value can be ascribed to the radiological results. The authors therefore suggest bronchial scanning for tracking down the Pneumocystis whenever suspicious clinical symptoms appear.
