Carcinoma breast with ectopic intrathoracic thyroid tissue: A rare presentation
Ectopic intrathoracic thyroid is very rare and represents only about 1% of mediastinal tumors. Mediastinal mass in a patient with an otherwise early-stage breast cancer needs evaluation.

Automated recognition of the pericardium contour on processed CT images using genetic algorithms [PDF]
This work proposes the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) in tracing and recognizing the pericardium contour of the human heart using Computed Tomography (CT) images. We assume that each slice of the pericardium can be modelled by an ellipse, the parameters of which need to be optimally determined.

A Study of Clinical Characteristics of Mediastinal Mass [PDF]
Background: Mediastinal tumours are uncommon lesions encountered in clinical practice. There has been a significant increase in the incidence of malignant mediastinal tumours over the past four decades.

Posterior mediastinal mass: Do we need to worry much?
Anesthetic management of mediastinal masses is challenging. There is abundant literature available on anesthesia management of anterior mediastinal mass. Anesthetic management of posterior mediastinal mass lesions normally have uneventful course.

A novel approach for the automated segmentation and volume quantification of cardiac fats on computed tomography [PDF]
The deposits of fat on the surroundings of the heart are correlated to several health risk factors such as atherosclerosis, carotid stiffness, coronary artery calcification, atrial fibrillation and many others. These deposits vary unrelated to obesity, which reinforces its direct segmentation for further quantification.

Skeletal muscle dissemination in a dog with T‐cell lymphoma
Skeletal muscles metastases are considered quite rare in small animals. When it occurs, muscle metastases typically involve paravertebral muscle and hind limb. Whole‐body CT is of paramount importance in patients affected by neoplasms with potential systemic metastases.

Posterior mediastinal masses by their location pose a risk of compression of heart, great vessels and airway. These risks are further exaggerated, with the use of neuromuscular relaxants and lateral positioning during anesthesia.

Large Enteric Cyst in Anterior Mediastinum: A Rare Case Report [PDF]
Mediastinal enteric cysts occurs rarely amongst adults and are encountered mostly in neonates and infants. In most cases they present as a right posterior mediastinal mass, often accompanied by vertebral defects. A case of a 69 years old female who had a

We report a case of a mediastinal mass indenting the left lateral tracheal wall of a 35-year-old male who presented with weight loss, cough and breathlessness. Flow volume loop and thyroid function tests were normal and thyroid peroxidase antibodies were negative.
