Abstract
We report the case of a 58-year-old woman treated with nivolumab for an unresectable squamous non-small cell lung cancer, after first-line cisplatin and gemcitabine combination chemotherapy. This woman had a history of left corneal graft. After 9 cycles of nivolumab, the patient described decreased visual acuity in the left eye with watering and conjunctival erythema. Ophthalmological examination revealed chronic corneal graft rejection. The patient was then treated with an intravenous bolus of corticosteroids (500mg of methylprednisolone) for 3 days, followed by oral prednisone for 4 weeks and subconjunctival corticosteroid injections every 48h, while treatment with nivolumab was discontinued. No clinical benefit was observed 4 weeks later and the corneal graft became totally unfunctional despite of the therapy. We hypothesise that the treatment was started too late. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of corneal graft rejection related to nivolumab.

Abstract
Early evidence suggests the efficacy of voriconazole for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA). We conducted a prospective, open, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of voriconazole for proven CPA in minimally or non-immunocompromised patients. Patients had CPA confirmed by chest computed tomography (CT) and/or endoscopy, positive Aspergillus culture from a respiratory sample, and positive serologic test for Aspergillus precipitins. Patients received voriconazole (200 mg twice daily) for a period of 6-12 months and were followed for 6 months after the end of therapy (EOT). The primary endpoint was global success at 6 months, defined as complete or partial (≥50 % improvement) radiological response and mycological eradication. Forty-one patients with confirmed CPA were enrolled. All patients had A. fumigatus as the etiologic agent. By EOT, five patients had died from comorbidities and seven had discontinued voriconazole due to toxicity. The global success rate at 6 months was 13/41 (32 %): 10/19 (53 %) for chronic necrotizing aspergillosis and 3/22 (14 %) for chronic cavitary aspergillosis (p = 0.01). The respective success rates at EOT were 58 and 32 %. Clinical symptoms and quality of life also improved during treatment. Voriconazole is effective for CPA, with acceptable toxicity. The response rate is higher and obtained more rapidly in necrotizing than cavitary forms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anorexia is one of the most frequent complaints in patients who have reached the palliative-care phase of lung cancer. Megestrol acetate (or medroxyprogesterone acetate) and corticosteroids have been used with success, but the effect of their combination remains unknown. We conducted a phase II trial to assess the impact of combination therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with lung cancer given palliative care and who developed anorexia with or without weight loss were given 320 mg/d megestrol acetate in 2 doses and 40 mg/d prednisolone in one dose in the morning for 1 month. The principal outcome criterion was anorexia assessed on a visual analog scale prior to treatment and then at day 15 and day 30. Variation in daily calorie intake and weight were also recorded. We used an Armitage sequential plan to determine the number of inclusions necessary and the preference method (closed schema) to evaluate the principal outcome criterion. RESULTS Inclusions were stopped after the eighth patient (giving p<0.05) as we observed a significant improvement in patient appetite. Daily calorie intake improved significantly (p<0.0001), by 39.18% the first 15 days and 16.57% more the next 15 days. Body weight improved significantly by 5.4% in one month (p=0.5). No treatment-related complication occurred during the study period or during the six consecutive months. CONCLUSIONS The megestrol acetate-prednisolone combination was found to improve anorexia in patients with lung cancer in the palliative-care phase and allowed a significant improvement in calorie intake and body weight.

Abstract
We report a case of a 56-year-old man who developed a flu-like syndrome associated with weight loss. Chest X-ray revealed a homogeneous round lesion of the lung with sharply defined margins in the central lobe. At pathology, the tumor was found to be an endodermal pulmonary tumor resembling a fetal lung. This uncommon tumor is generally a fortuitous chest X-ray finding seen as a rounded peripheral opacity. Diagnosis is based on pathology examination of the surgical specimen. Complementary investigations are not contributory. Unlike blastoma, a differential diagnosis, prognosis is generally good.

Abstract
Angiosarcoma is an uncommon tumor accounting for approximately 1% of all soft tissue tumors which, themselves account for 0.7% of all malignant tumors. Thoracic parietal localizations are reported exceptionally and prognosis is poor. We report the case of a 79-year-old woman who developed an angiosarcoma of the thoracic wall. The inaugural symptom was a hemothorax. Besides the localization, this case was particularly exceptional since the patient has remained asymptomatic three years after treatment by wide resection followed by radiotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We evaluate the feasibility and the efficiency of electrosurgery in the treatment of the symptomatic malignant tracheobronchial tree obstructions (MTTO) when it is used with flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy without general anesthesia. METHODS The aim of electrosurgery was to restore the permeability of the tracheobronchial tree to suppress symptoms. The operation lasted no more than 60 minutes, and a second operation was performed 8 days later if symptoms persisted. The patients received local anesthesia and light sedation (midazolm). PATIENTS 28 patients have been treated from june 1995 to june 1996 for following symptoms: dyspnea (22 cases), cough (1 case), dyspnea and cough (5 cases). All patients had malignant disease palliatively treated. RESULTS The protocol has failed in one case, needing general anesthesia. 27 patients have had one session, 6 a second one week later. After the first session, dyspnea was improved in 22/27 cases (81.5%) and cough in 5/6 cases (83%). After the second session, dyspnea was globally improved in 26/27 cases (96%), without change for cough. CONCLUSION Electrosurgery is a feasible and safe treatment which can implement immediately without general anesthesia, in MTTO. Its result are highly effective on dyspnea but less on cough, with reproducible effects and a well-tolerated procedure. Further investigations need to compare the different techniques.

Abstract
To assess the prognostic value of flow cytometric analysis, 61 cases of operated squamous cell lung carcinoma were studied in terms of desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) nuclear content and percentage of cells in DNA synthesis phase (% S). These parameters were determined on a fresh surgical sample. The S % was obtained in 25 cases. DNA index (DI) and % S were compared with survival and usual clinicopathologic characteristics for the prediction of survival. DNA content classified as DNA-diploid and DNA-aneuploid is not a prognostic factor for survival. DI higher than 2 seems to be predictive but needs confirmation. The % S and multiploidy are not predictive factors for survival.

Abstract
The authors report a case of a 25 years old woman in whom a coin lesion was fortuitously discovered. Initial investigations were negative and an exploratory thoracotomy was performed which enabled a benign clear cell tumour of the lung to be found (sugar tumour). This rare benign tumour whose cellular origin remains indeterminate is in general discovered in a fortuitous manner after a chest x-ray has been performed showing a round peripheral opacity. The diagnosis is confirmed following the excision of the tumour, complementary examinations are not helpful.

Abstract
Anorexia is a frequent complaint in patients suffering from bronchial cancer. It is linked to multiple factors, organic, biological and psychological. The treatment of anorexia implies an involvement with all these factors. If it persists, it may be improved by corticosteroids or by derivatives of progesterone independently of the control of the tumour process.

We describe the rare case of bilateral bronchopulmonary sequestrations, one intralobar and one extralobar, in a 22-year-old man. The coexistence of two forms of separated sequestrations with a common vascularization support the theory that intralobar as well as extralobar sequestrations are congenital malformations.

We describe the case history of a patient who suffered from dorsal thoracic nonpenetrating trauma after a fall, with rupture of the aortic isthmus treated by thoracotomy. Arteriovenous fistula between the thoracic wall and the lung, with hypervascularization of the left thoracic wall, was revealed by atypical chronic thoracic pain and a murmur. This case demonstrates that chronic thoracic pain of vascular origin must be considered.

Abstract
We studied retrospectively all patients who underwent vascular reconstruction after tumor invasion of the superior vena cava in order to assess the surgical procedure. Seven patients were operated including 5 with compression of the superior vena cava. Compression regressed within 24 hours without recurrence. Reconstruction had no effect on morbidity and mortality. One patient is still alive after a 5 year follow-up. Invasion of the superior vena cava is not a contraindication for resection of a tumor localized in the thorax and may contribute to cure as it improved patient comfort in all cases.

Abstract
Varicella rarely occurs in the adult but can cause multi-organ complications. The most frequent (15 to 30% involve varicella pneumonia of unpredictable outcome. In the healthy adult, outcome can be favourable in 5 days or inversely lead to respiratory distress and death in 10 to 20% of the cases. An analysis of the published cases does not reveal any factor predicting unfavourable outcome. A register of varicella pneumonia would help identify potential predictive factors.

Abstract
The flow-cytometry (FCM) is a method of quickly determining the desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content of tumoral cells. This provides us with two results: the DNA-ploidy which characterizes quantitatively the DNA, and the percentage of cells in DNA synthesis phase (%S). The contribution of FCM in evaluation of the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer remains disputable. The absence of standardization between laboratories makes it difficult to compare the different studies to define the place of FCM analysis. However, for epidermoid carcinomas, the most actively studied, a DNA diploidy and a weak %S have a favourable impact on survival. No conclusion can be drawn from the studies on adenocarcinomas. Large cell carcinomas have never been studied in an isolated manner, due to the lack of numbers.
