  ABSTRACT: Isolated cardiophrenic angle node metastases are relatively rare, as are primary fallopian tube carcinomas. We describe a case of a cardiophrenic angle node metastasis from such a tumor, with no peritoneal involvement. A 52-year-old woman, who had been previously diagnosed with fallopian tube carcinoma, was referred with a right cardiophrenic angle mass. A thoracoscopic resection was performed. The pathological diagnosis was lymph node metastasis from the primary lesion.

  ABSTRACT: We report a case of a pulmonary adenocarcinoma in coexistence with an organizing pneumonia. A 73-year-old male presented with an abnormal shadow on a chest X-ray. The pathological diagnosis, made via a partial resection, was a focal organizing pneumonia with reactive proliferation of the bronchial epithelium. Three years later, two tumors adjacent to the staple line were revealed by computed tomography. A left lower lobectomy was performed and both tumors were diagnosed as an adenocarcinoma. Because the histological findings for the atypical epithelial areas of the previous tumor were similar to the two new lesions in this patient, we regarded these tumors as a marginal recurrence.
