Unusual cause of hemoptysis. Hickman-induced cava-bronchial fistula.
A 56-year-old man with metastatic prostatic carcinoma underwent placement of a Hickman catheter. Approximately two months after the procedure, he was admitted to the hospital with hemoptysis and in respiratory distress. A contrast computed tomographic (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis of a cava-bronchial fistula. The fistula was surgically repaired, and the patient made a satisfactory recovery.

Benign metastasizing leiomyoma.
The cases of 2 patients with benign metastasizing leiomyofibroma are reviewed. Although extremely rare both in our experience and in the literature, benign metastasizing leiomyofibroma is an important differential diagnosis in young women seen with multiple lung nodules. Our patients underwent staged thoracotomies for diagnosis and treatment, and have experienced no evidence of recurrence over a six-year period.
