Chest pain and haemoptysi...

A 24-year-old immunocompetent woman was admitted to the emergency room with sudden-onset pleuritic chest pain and haemoptysis. She was diagnosed with laryngeal and tracheal papillomatosis at birth, having subsequently received treatment with antiviral agents and laser therapy until undergoing tracheal auto-transplantation. CT scan was done. The bronchoscopy showed no evidence of papillomatosis, and the BAL fluid was negative for neoplastic cells. The lung biopsy was done. The patient received antifungal therapy, but neither her clinical condition nor her radiological features improved. Therefore, she underwent a right lower lobectomy. Gross examination of resected specimens along with Histological examinations for Grocott methenamine silver staining were done.
