Pulmonary blastoma. A case report.

Pulmonary blastoma occurred in a 71-year-old man. Bronchial brushing specimens showed numerous epithelial cells and only a few mesenchymal cell clusters. The epithelial cells were round to oval, more uniform and smaller than ordinary adenocarcinoma cells. The nuclear:cytoplasmic ratio of these cells was increased, with an even chromatin distribution, and nucleoli were inconspicuous. Mesenchymal cell clusters were markedly hypercellular and consisted of small and short spindle-shaped cells with hyperchromatic nuclei. Although it is very difficult to diagnose pulmonary blastoma correctly by cytology, the possibility of pulmonary blastoma should be considered when small, nonsquamous neoplastic cells are observed, particularly in association with small and short spindle-shaped cells reminiscent of mesenchymal origin.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy using the abdominal wall lift in a cardiac patient.

We present a case report of a patient with impaired cardiac function after aortic valve replacement and open mitral commissurotomy who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystolithiasis. In preventing reduced cardiac output due to pneumoperitoneum, the laparoscopic operative procedure was performed using the abdominal wall lift. Cardiac function was continuously evaluated by transesophageal echocardiographic examination and remained stable during the surgery. Because of the patient's co-existing chronic atrial fibrillation and prosthetic aortic valve, perioperative anticoagulation management was carried out. The patient's post-operative course was uneventful, and he was discharged on the 7th post-operative day.
