Abstract
BACKGROUND Lobectomy for benign lung disease is renowned to be technically complex and to be subjected to an increased complication rate. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the results obtained with video-assisted surgery (VATS) in benign disease are comparable to those obtained in oncologic surgery, where VATS has been validated. METHODS We have reviewed the files of 246 consecutive patients who underwent VATS lobectomy from January 2012 to August 2015. The cohort was divided into two groups according to pathology (benign or malignant). Outcome parameters on scrutiny were demographics, pathology, duration of air leak, drainage and hospital stay, conversion, and perioperative complication rate. Comparisons were made with the χ 2 test and Student's t test; any p value ≤0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS Group 1 (36 patients) included patients who underwent lobectomy for benign disease and group 2 (210 patients) patients affected by lung cancer or pulmonary metastases. The two groups differed with reference to age (p < 0.001), history of cancer (p < 0.001), history of stroke (p = 0.05), and the presence of pleural adhesions (p = 0.03). There was no difference for duration of air leaks, chest tube drainage and hospital stay, conversion rate, and perioperative complication rate. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that pathology did not impact on outcomes after VATS lobectomy. This study suggests that VATS is as a safe option in selected patients with benign disease requiring lobectomy, despite a more complex technical context.

Abstract
Realizou-se uma série de biópsias cardíacas em cães para testar o acesso toracoscópico, utilizando-se oito cães sem raça definida, sob condições de manejo e alimentação adequados. A abordagem à cavidade torácica foi feita por meio de cirurgia torácica videoassistida e o instrumental utilizado para remoção do fragmento de miocárdio foi o convencional em lugar das pinças de videocirurgia. A eficácia do procedimento foi confirmada pelo tempo decorrido entre as incisões, a execução da biópsia e a sutura do tórax, com duração média de 15 minutos. A cirurgia torácica videoassistida para biópsias cardíacas foi considerada segura e adequada, minimizando o desconforto pós-operatório dos pacientes submetidos ao acesso torácico.

Abstract
Introduction In 2008, the Food and Drugs Administration required manufacturers of TNFα antagonists to strengthen their warnings about the risk of serious fungal infections in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Sinus aspergilloma occurs occasionally in RA patients and can progress to invasive Aspergillus disease. The purpose of this study was to describe symptomatic sinus aspergilloma in RA patients treated with TNFα antagonists. Methods Retrospective descriptive study of symptomatic cases of sinus aspergilloma in patients with RA followed in three French university hospitals. A systematic literature review was performed. Results Among 550 RA patients treated with TNFα antagonists, six (1.1%) had symptomatic maxillary aspergilloma diagnosed by computed tomography before or during TNFα antagonist therapy. None had chronic neutropenia. Aspergilloma treatment was with surgery only in all six patients. In the literature, we found 20 reports of Aspergillus infection in patients with chronic inflammatory joint diseases (including 10 with RA). Only 5/20 patients were treated with TNFα antagonists (invasive lung aspergillosis, n = 3; intracranial aspergillosis, n = 1; and sphenoidal sinusitis, n = 1). Conclusions Otorhinolaryngological symptoms must be evaluated before starting or switching TNFα antagonists. Routine computed tomography of the sinuses before starting or switching TNFα antagonists may deserve consideration.

Abstract
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is broad term encompassing chronic cavitary, chronic fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis and aspergilloma. All affect patients with structural lung diseases and many have subtle genetic immune defects. Almost all cases are caused by Aspergillus fumigatus. Here we report a patient with an aspergilloma which had Aspergillus flavus recovered from a surgical specimen and serum containing detectable precipitating antibody.

Abstract
Invasive fungal infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematological malignancies. In particular, patients with neutropenia and those who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are at highest risk, with fungal pneumonia being the main clinical manifestation in these patients. The most common pathogens associated with fungal pneumonia are Aspergillus spp. and Zygomycetes. However, other pathogens have also been observed in fungal pneumonia, including Cryptococcus spp., Pneumocystis jirovecii, and Candida spp. This comprehensive review will focus on the important practical aspects relevant to the epidemiology, clinical diagnosis, and therapeutic management of pneumonia due to filamentous fungi in patients affected by hematological malignancies.

Abstract
Upper lobe fibrobullous disease is a well-known finding in advanced stages of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). In this report, we present a 57-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with a right apical cavitary lesion after coming to us with the complaint of haemoptysis. The patient underwent upper lobe segmentectomy and an aspergilloma was detected. Histologic findings were in favour of necrotising Aspergillus pneumonia. It was interesting that the patient had not been diagnosed with AS before and presented initially with chronic necrotising Aspergillus pneumonia. In the literature, there are recently published series of pulmonary high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in AS which claim that parenchymal abnormalities are quite frequent. Although the clinical significance of these abnormalities is not known with certainty, it has been reported that they might be seen even in early-stage patients. It is suggested that the pulmonary involvement in AS might be affected by mechanical factors related to limitation of motion of the thoracic cage and also by parenchymal inflammation. Here, we review the series of pulmonary HRCT in AS patients.

Abstract
We report a case of pulmonary aspergilloma in a 27-year-old woman with anorexia nervosa who underwent a video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. On admission, she had lost 38% of her original weight but the laboratory data were normal. She had refused treatment for anorexia nervosa for nine years ago and may have been predisposed to opportunistic conditions. The aspergilloma was developed in a simple bulla formed in the course of healing of a lung abscess and a VATS lobectomy was safely and cosmetically performed. Wedge resection was difficult due to the size of the lesion. The residual lobes expanded very well and the postoperative course was uneventful. VATS is considered to be an efficient method in the treatment of pulmonary aspergilloma in patients with better lung function and localized pulmonary disease.

Abstract
The development of pulmonary aspergilloma and invasive aspergillosis is a rare complication of cystic fibrosis. We describe a 29-year-old patient with cystic fibrosis who had invasive pulmonary aspergillosis that was not cured by amphotericin B, liposomal amphotericin B, or itraconazole. This patient was subsequently successfully treated and cured with the novel antifungal agent voriconazole.
