TUMORS OF THE DIAPHRAGM

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1998
Primary tumors of the diaphragm are rare, and more than half are benign. Diaphragmatic tumors arise from mesenchymal tissue because of their mesodermal origin, and all varieties of these tumors have been reported. An interesting paraphenomenon is hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, most commonly seen in tumors of neurogenic origin.

We report a case of a large symptomatic angioleiomyoma of the diaphragm. The tumor was diagnosed by computed tomography and videothoracoscopic biopsy. We removed the tumor through a left thoracolaparotomy. Three months later, a local recurrence was removed through an upper midline laparotomy.

Diaphragm Paralysis

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2009
The diaphragm is a chief muscle of inspiration. Its paralysis can lead to dyspnea and can affect ventilatory function. Diaphragmatic paralysis can be unilateral or bilateral. The clinical symptoms are more prominent in bilateral diaphragm paralysis. Ventilatory failure and cor pulmonale are usually seen in severe cases.

EVENTRATION OF THE DIAPHRAGM

Archives of Surgery, 1952
EVENTRATION of the diaphragm is a congenital aplasia, either partial or complete, of this muscular organ. It permits the protrusion of the abdominal viscera into the chest, displacing the lung and in severer cases the heart and mediastinum. It is a condition which has been recognized for many years, since Petit1gave an accurate description in 1774 ...
