Objective
To investigate the clinicopathologic features of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of lung in adults.
Methods
The clinical and pathological characteristics of two cases of CCAM of lung in adults from November 19, 2012 to February 12, 2014 were analyzed, and relevant literatures were reviewed.
Results
Both of the two patients were males who were 59 years and 60 years old respectively. Both of them presented with respiratory symptoms such as productive cough, hemoptysis and fever. The lesions in the two cases were about 4.0 cm×3.0 cm×1.5 cm and 5.0 cm×5.0 cm×3.0 cm in size respectively. Both had a cystic appearance and involved unilateral lobes of the lung. Histologically, normal pulmonary alveoli were replaced by different size of cysts composed of adenomatoid hyperplastic bronchioles. The inner cystic wall was lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, and the cystic wall contained smooth muscle and elastic tissue, but no cartilage. In one of our cases, mucous cells could be seen in part of the inner cystic wall, with focal atypical hyperplasia.
Conclusions
CCAM of the lung is a rare congenital developmental anomaly, which typically manifests in neonates and infants, but extremely rare in adults. The diagnosis of CCAM in adults depends on clinical features, imaging changes and histopathological characteristics.
Objective To summarize the current progress in diagnosis and treatment of polycystic liver disease, and provide ideas for further research direction and clinical practice of polycystic liver disease. Method The domestic and foreign literature about polycystic liver disease was reviewed, screened, and summarized. Results The diagnosis, evaluation, and classification of polycystic liver disease were mainly performed clinically by abdominal ultrasound and CT. Surgical treatment was the main treatment, including aspiration sclerotherapy, fenestration, segmental hepatectomy, and liver transplantation. Conclusions The classification and evaluation scheme of polycystic liver disease needs to be improved, and its medical treatment still needs further research. Estrogen receptor and gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor are promising therapeutic targets.
ObjectiveTo investigate the guiding value of preoperative imaging and intraoperative rapid pathology in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cystic neoplasm (PCN).MethodsThe clinical data of 205 patients with PCN diagnosed by pathology from July 14, 2003 to July 31, 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The precise and fuzzy diagnostic rate and misdiagnosis rate of PCN by preoperative imaging and intraoperative rapid pathology were analyzed.ResultsThe most commonly used preoperative imaging methods were ultrasound and CT, in 146 cases (82.95%) and 141 cases (80.11%), respectively. There were 54 cases (30.68%) with MRI. Of them, 47 cases were examined by single examination, 129 cases received combined examination, of which 123 cases (95.35%) were examined by ultrasound combined with CT. The precise and fuzzy diagnostic rate of PCN by ultrasound, CT, and MRI were 81.51% (119/146), 81.56% (115/141), and 87.04% (47/54), respectively. Comparison of ultrasound with CT and MRI showed statistical significance (χ2=47.747, P<0.001; χ2=11.873, P=0.018), but no significant difference was observed between CT and MRI (χ2=5.012, P>0.05). In 27 cases of false diagnosis by ultrasound, no obvious abnormality was found in 14 cases (51.85%), followed by misdiagnosis as pancreatic pseudocyst (11 cases, 40.74%). Of the 26 cases misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer by CT, 57.69% (15 cases) were misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer; 7 cases were misdiagnosed by MRI, 42.86% (3 cases) of patients were misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer and pancreatic pseudocyst. Thirty-one cases were misdiagnosed by intraoperative rapid pathology, and most of them misdiagnosed as pancreatic pseudocyst (10 cases, 32.26%). The next was SPN misdiagnosed as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (7 cases, 22.58%). The precise and fuzzy diagnostic rates of PCN were 81.58% (124/152), 86.84% (132/152), and 97.37% (148/152) in preoperative imaging, intraoperative rapid pathology, and preoperative imaging combined with intraoperative rapid pathology, while the misdiagnostic rates were 18.42% (28/152), 13.16% (20/152), and 2.63% (4/152), respectively.ConclusionsIn preoperative imaging and intraoperative rapid pathological examination, it is possible that ultrasound could not find PCN lesions. CT and MRI are most likely to be misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer. Intraoperative rapid pathological examination misdiagnosed as pancreatic pseudocyst is most common. Perfect preoperative imaging and rapid intraoperative pathology can improve the correct diagnosis rate of PCN and avoid unreasonable surgical intervention measures.

Authors introduced their experiences of surgical technique in this patient.
【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the effectiveness of the medical calcium sulfate—OsteoSet bone graft substitute in the treatment of defect after excision of jaw cyst. Methods Between December 2009 and May 2010, 15 cases of jaw cystic lesion were treated，including 9 males and 6 females with an average age of 36.6 years (range, 15-75 years). Orthopantomography (OPT) method was used to measure the cyst size before operation, and the size ranged from 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm to 8.0 cm × 3.0 cm. The range of bone defect was from 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm to 8.0 cm × 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm after cyst excision intraoperatively. The patients underwent cyst curettage and OsteoSet bone graft substitutes implantation (2-15 mL). Radiological method was used to evaluate the repair effect of OsteoSet pellets. Results The pathology biopsy was periapical cyst in 7 cases, odontogenic keratocyst in 5 cases, and dentigerous cyst in 3 cases. Fifteen patients were followed up 6-12 months. Thirteen patients achieved wound healing by first intention; 2 cases had longer drainage time (5 and 7 days, respectively), the incision healed after the pressure bandage. Swelling occurred in 1 case after 1 month with no symptom of infection. No postoperative infection and rejection was found. The X-ray examination showed that the materials filled the bone defect well after 1 day of operation. OsteoSet bone graft substitutes were absorbed by one-half after 1 month of operation and totally after 3 months by OPT. The low density area was smaller in the original cysts cavity, and high density in the cysts increased significantly with fuzzy boundaries of cysts. At 6 months after operation， there was no obvious difference in image density between the original cavity and normal bone, and the capsule cavity boundary disappeared, and defect area was full of new bone. Conclusion The medical calcium sulfate—OsteoSet bone graft substitute is an ideal filling material for bone defect.
Objective To discuss the surgical indication of mammotome （MMT） operation and its auxiliary diagnosis value on breast cysts. Methods Seventy-eight patients with breast cysts from May 2010 to November 2011 in this hospital were enrolled. Excision and biopsy were performed according to the following guidelines：Single cyst with inhomogeneous interna echoes and diameter at least 1 cm；Multiple cysts associated with irregular megalgia， localized thickening of breast or ineffective drug treatment after three months；High risk of breast cancer；Hypoechoic nodules and laticifers exaggerated cysts；Ultrasonography showed disorderly echo and abundant blood supply in glandular tissues around the lesions. The result of preoperative ultrasound was compared with that of postoperative pathology diagnosis. Results In these 78 breast cysts patients with preoperative ultrasound diagnosis， 40 cases were breast multiple cysts， 38 cases were multiple cysts plus untouchable hypoecho nodules；42 cases were high risk lesions， and the other 36 cases were low risk lesions. Postoperative pathology diagnosis revealed 27 cases of cystic hyperplasia， 2 cases of atypical hyperplasia， and 1 case of breast cancer in the ultrasonic high risk lesions， and 19 cases of cystic hyperplasia in the ultrasonic low risk lesions. Ultrasound diagnostic accuracy rate was 60.26%（47/78）， sensitivity was 61.22%（30/49）， and specificity was 58.62%（17/29）. The number of resection lesions was 13.00±8.16， the time of operation was （74.25±22.68） min. The average hospital stay was 1 d after surgery. The local hematoma occurred in 2 cases and no other complications occurred during one month of follow-up. Conclusions The guidelines of MMT protocoled according to clinical manifestation of breast cyst patients and imaging of high-frequency ultrasound in author’s department are simple and utility. Minimal excision and biopsy via MMT can confirm the histological type and help for early diagnosis of breast cancer and precancerous lesion. It is important and necessary to standardize the surgical indications of MMT in the clinical work.
Fibropolycystic liver diseases (FLDs) is a rare genetic disorder, including bile duct hamartomas, congenital hepatic fibrosis, polycystic liver disease, Caroli’s disease, and choledochal cysts. Fibropolycystic liver diseases has received little clinical attention and exhibits a variety of imaging manifestations, leading to a high likelihood of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Through this case, we delineate the characteristic imaging manifestations of the disease and its underlying pathological mechanisms. Our objective is to enhance readers' comprehension of the disease and thereby reduce the rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of the disease.
