Minithoracoscopy for Pleural Effusions
The current management of pleural disease often requires direct visualization and biopsy of the pleural space using thoracoscopy. A diagnostic and therapeutic approach to pleural disease is described that uses a new 2 mm rigid thorascope. The technique allows complete visualization, biopsy and drainage of the pleural space with rapid recovery and minimal pain

Pulmonary Sclerosing Hemangioma with Lymph Node Metastases
Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is an unusual benign tumour of uncertain histogenesis. In the past 50 years, hundreds of cases have been described. A case of sclerosing hemangioma with some unusual features, including a false-positive fine needle aspiration biopsy and histological evidence of lymph node metastases, is described
