Review Case Reports[Two probable cases of adult Williams-Campbell syndrome--advocation of Williams-Campbell-type bronchiectasis].
Williams-Campbell syndrome is a unique type of bronchiectasis which shows ballooning during expiration and collapse during inspiration. Its etiology is thought to be a congenital decrease in bronchial cartilage. ⋯ Cases of Williams-Campbell syndrome reported in Japan show characteristic bronchography, but a decrease in bronchial cartilage may or may not be present and its congenital nature is very difficult to demonstrate. We therefore advocate referring to such cases of bronchiectasis with these bronchographic characteristics Williams-Campbell-type bronchiectasis, even if a decrease in bronchial cartilage is not observed.

Review Case Reports[A case of idiopathic aneurysm of the inferior vena cava].
Congenital aneurysms of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are very rare, and to our knowledge, only 4 cases have been previously reported. We describe the fifth case of fusiform aneurysm and briefly review the literature. ⋯ CT, MRI, and DSA examinations revealed an aneurysmal dilatation of the IVC measuring 51x50x38 mm inferior to the right atrium, and the diagnosis of fusiform aneurysm of the IVC was made. The newer imaging techniques of CT, MRI, and DSA have facilitated the diagnosis of this abnormality.

Review Case Reports[Two cases of primary racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery].
Two cases of primary racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery are reported. The first case was admitted because of massive hemoptysis after transbronchial biopsy in another hospital. ⋯ The second case was admitted because of massive hemoptysis. Bronchoscopic examination revealed polypoid tumor in the left B3b bronchus, which was resected and diagnosed as racemose hemangioma.

Review Case Reports[A case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to isocyanate (TDI)].
A 46-year-old man who had worked in a paint processing plast for over 29 years was admitted to our hospital with complaints of nocturnal dyspnea and dry cough. A chest X-ray film showed diffuse granular shadows in bilateral lungs. Pulmonary function tests revealed reduction of diffusing capacity and restrictive impairments. ⋯ According to these results, the patient was diagnosed as HP due to TDI. Type III allergy of Gell-Coombs seems to participate in this case. The granulomatous lesion is seen less frequently in isocyanate-related HP than in HP induced by organic dusts, which suggests the difference in immunological and histological reactions between both types of HP.
