RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious, transmissible and immune disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis-complex (MTBC). Although osteoarticular tuberculosis (OATB) has been widely described, the ribcage variety remains a rare form. CASE REPORT: A thirteen-month-old male and a twenty-month-old female, both with pain and increased volume of anterolateral left rib cage were described. Physical examination revealed the presence of a soft consistent mass at the level of the 9th and 5th costal arches in the male and female patients respectively. Upon clinical evaluation, tuberculosis was suspected, which was confirmed by X-ray and histopathological studies. After confirmation, the management, based on anti-tuberculosis therapy was started as follows: nine months of anti-tuberculosis therapy for the male patient and fourteen months for the female. The outcomes were favorable for both patients. However, further interventions, consisting of abscess drainage in the male patient and excisional biopsy in the female patient were necessary. With these therapeutic interventions, to date, the patients are without any evidence of active TB.

The objective is demonstrate the diagnostic process and evolution of a patient with a diagnosis of congenital pulmonary vein stenosis and broncho-pulmonary vascular malformation. One year old female patient with repeated bronchopneumonia, acrocyanosis, split S2, cardiomegaly, pulmonary hypertension, with a clinical diagnosis of atrial septal defect. The echocardiogram demonstrated left sided vein pulmonary stenosis. The cardiac catheterization demonstrated arterial-venous fistulas apical on the right lung. Magnetic Resonance image and angiography showed an aberrant arterial vessel parallel to the abdominal aorta which flow the right pulmonary lobe. The cardiac tomography angiography reported confluence of right-sided pulmonary veins. A lobectomy is performed. Patient died in post-operative due to massive pulmonary hemorrhaging. This is the first patient mentioned in written literature with pulmonary vein stenosis associated with pulmonary sequestration, with normal venous connection. Echocardiography represents the specific standard study ideal for initial diagnostic for patients with pulmonary vein stenosis.
El objetivo es mostrar el diagnóstico y la evolución de una paciente con estenosis de venas pulmonares y secuestro pulmonar. Se trata de una niña de 1 año de edad, con bronconeumonías de repetición, acrocianosis, 2R intenso, cardiomegalia, hipertensión venocapilar pulmonar, con diagnóstico clínico de comunicación interauricular. El ecocardiograma mostró estenosis de venas pulmonares izquierdas. El cateterismo cardiaco detectó fístulas arteriovenosas en la región apical del pulmón derecho. La imagen de resonancia magnética y la angiografía mostraron un vaso arterial aberrante paralelo a la aorta abdominal y con flujo dirigido al lóbulo pulmonar derecho. La angiotomografía reportó confluencia de las venas pulmonares del lado derecho. Se realizó lobectomía derecha. La paciente falleció en el posoperatorio debido a una hemorragia masiva pulmonar. Esta paciente es la primera descrita en la literatura con estenosis de venas pulmonares congénita asociada a secuestro pulmonar. La ecocardiografía es el estudio diagnóstico ideal inicial en los pacientes con estenosis congénita de venas pulmonares.
