[Severe chronic hypoxemia in cirrhosis].
In the course of cirrhosis, severe chronic hypoxemia (< 60 mmHg) is exceptional, it is the most often in contact with intrapulmonary vascular anomalies and necessitates complex investigations. Authors reported a case of 16-years old patient, breach of cirrhosis with underdevelopment and that presents a severe chronic respiratory insufficiency not improved by the addition of oxygen. The different practiced explorations are in favor of an hepatopulmonary syndrome secondary probably to intrapulmonary shunting.

[Post hydatid chronic cor pulmonale].
We report a case in a patient aged 28 admitted with haemoptysis and dyspnoea. The chest x-ray showed multiple disseminated hydatid cysts throughout the lung fields. Computerized tomography and an abdominal echo found a hydatid cyst of the liver in contact with inferior vena cava which was probably responsible for the secondary pulmonary dissemination. Subsequently there was a multiplication of the lesions with rupture and infection of several cysts. After two years the disease progressed into chronic respiratory failure with the appearance of chronic cor pulmonale. The respiratory state rapidly worsened with several episodes of cardiorespiratory failure. Death occurred six months after the appearance of CPC.

[Primary localized bronchopulmonary amyloidosis].
A 56-year-old patient with an uneventful history was hospitalized for investigation of recent dypnea. The physical examination was normal and chest X-ray showed localized interstitial lesions in the upper right lobe. Endoscopy showed evidence of diffuse infiltration of the bronchial mucosa and narrowing of the lumen. Transbronchial histology showed evidence of bronchopulmonary amyloidosis. There were no signs of extrapulmonary localizations. Search in other organs was negative demonstrating the primary nature of the lung disease. Primary bronchopulmonary amyloidosis is rarely encountered.
