[Pulmonary mycobacteriosis due to a non-chromogenic, slow-growing, unclassified mycobacterium]. / Mycobactériose pulmonaire due à une mycobactérie non chromogène, à croissance lente, non classée.

A case is reported of a bilateral atypical mycobacterial infection, occurring in a 44 year old male with antecedent silicosis. Successful surgical resection was performed after 17 months of failed chemotherapy. The atypical mycobacterium which is unclassified is intermediate between Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare. Mycobacterium terrae complex and Mycobacterium gastri. It has some similarities with the newly described species, Mycobacterium malmöense.

[Four cases of bronchial lipoma (author's transl)]. / Le lipome bronchique. A propos de quatre observations.

The authors report four observations of bronchial lipoma. They note the rarity of this variety of benign tumor, since 69 observations have been published to date. This tumor occurs predominantly in the male, is found preferentially in a large bronchus and has several particularities of macroscopic and histologic pathology. Its histogenesis is still not well understood even though most authors subscribe to the theory of "hyperplasia-metaplasia". The treatment is essentially surgical in nature and includes three possible alternatives : endoscopic resection, single exeresis by bronchotomy or exeresis associated with resection of the parenchyma.
