Cancer Case Report Posters ISESSION TYPE: Case Report PosterPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMINTRODUCTION: The WHO considers BAC as a subtype of adenocarcinoma (1).accounts for 6.5% of pulmonary neoplasias. Its incidence in Spain it is 3%, and in the US it is 3-24%, according to the series(2). Because of its clinical, radiological and histological presentation are variable, we report the case with a subacute clinical presentation and a diffuse cavitated reticulonodular pattern. ⋯ The variable radiological presentation of BAC makes the diagnosis challenging, and sometimes delays the final diagnosis. Therefore, BAC must be considered in patients with cavitated reticulonodular infiltratesReference #1: International association for the study of lung cancer/american thoracic society/european respiratory society international multidisciplinary classification of lung adenocarcinoma .Thorac Oncol. 2011 Feb;6(2):244-85Reference #2: The epidemiology of bronchoalveolar carcinoma over past two decades, analysis of the SEER database Lung cancer 2004; 45:137- 42Reference #3: The IASLC Lung Cancer Staging Project: proposals for the revision of the TNM stage groupings in the forthcoming edition of the TNM Classification of malignant tumours.

Tuberculosis Case Report PostersSESSION TYPE: Case Report PosterPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMINTRODUCTION: The potential complications of immune reconstitution disease during antiretroviral therapy (ART) are extremely diverse and included the unmasking form of tuberculosis. TB caused by immune reconstruction inflammatory syndrome is associated with a high mortality risk although HIV-infected patients are treated with antiretroviral agents. ⋯ Described unmasked and accelerated worsening of TB disease post-ART suggest that immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome had contributed in both cases. Because pelvic inflammation disease is considered co-epidemic with HIV, the diagnosis of TB was delayed, the progression of TB disease was fast and severe, but the prognosis was finally a favorable one.Reference #1: Lawn SD, Meintjes G.

Pulmonary Vascular Disease CasesSESSION TYPE: Case ReportsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 04:15 PM - 05:15 PMINTRODUCTION: Thromboembolic events including pulmonary embolism (PE) are known to occur in association with advanced stages of lung cancer. Known cancer is a risk factor for development of venous thromboembolism, including PE. However, when a patient without known cancer presents with acute PE, cancer as a potential cause of PE may not always be explored. We present a case of acute PE, later found to have adenocarcinoma of lung with metastasis. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Viral Patel, Abhay Vakil, Mehul Rooparelia, Kelly Cervellione, Samir SarkarNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Little is known about the treatment options and their efficacies in GL-ILD. It is also unclear whether all patients with GL-ILD in the setting of CVID need treatment. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Avni Joshi, Paolo Pianosi, Shakila Khan, Michael Ishitani, Thomas Boyce, David ViswanathaNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
