Diagnosis and management of a mediastinal ectopic thyroid laying on the right bronchus: case report and review of literature

BMC Surgery, 2018
Background The mediastinal ectopic thyroid is very rare, accounting for less than 1% of all cases of ectopic thyroid tissue. The differential diagnoses with other diseases such as lymphomas, thymic tumors and dermoid cysts is mandatory, in fact each one,

Superior Diagnostic Yield of EBUS-Guided Cryobiopsy over Needle Aspiration in Isolated, Mass-Negative Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy: A Prospective Within-Patient Study [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the standard minimally invasive technique for mediastinal lymph node sampling; however, its diagnostic performance is limited in diseases requiring preserved ...

Mode of Mechanical Ventilation in a Case of Venolymphatic Malformation: Spontaneous-Saves, Positive-Precludes

Turkish Journal of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation, 2023
Mediastinal venolymphatic malformations (VLM) are rare tumours, with very few reported cases in the literature. Arising often from the anterior mediastinum, VLM manifests symptoms based on invaded surrounding structures.

The value of cytologic diagnostics in fast intraoperative diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy and pulmonary and mediastinal tumors [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2002
Extemporary (EXT) analysis is unavoidable in establishing the tumor diagnosis, operability and the extent of the operation. Alternative approach is cytologic analysis which, because of its simple methodology, provides results even faster.

Potential application of cryobiopsy for histo-molecular characterization of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with thoracic malignancies: a case presentation series and implications for future developments

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
The management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has become increasingly complex due to the evolution of personalized medicine approaches. Such approaches are characterized by the necessity of adequate tumor samples; hence, improved biopsy techniques

Mediastinal mass and hydatid disease [PDF]

QJM, 2013
### Learning Point for Clinicians This case serves to highlight that cardiac and mediastinal hydatid disease can occur without overt liver or lung involvement, and that echinococcosis of the mediastinum may mimic many other diseases. A 50-year-old female presented with a non-productive cough. She was a non-smoker and reported no other symptoms.

The utility of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in mediastinal or hilar lymph node evaluation in extrathoracic malignancy: Benign or malignant?

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2012
Objective: Newly arising enlarged or hypermetabolic mediastinal/hilar lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with previously diagnosed extrathoracic malignancies raise suspicion of metastasis.

A case of Rosai-Dorfman’s disease as isolated mediastinal lymphadenopathy: a diagnostic challenge

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2022
Background Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is seen in a variety of diseases, like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and metastasis. The diagnosis can be confirmed by tissue sampling with endobronchial ultrasound and transbronchial needle aspirate.
