Dyspnoea and restrictive lung disease due to mediastinal and pleural lipomatosis in morbid obesity

Respirology Case Reports, 2019
Dyspnoea in obese patients can be multifactorial and complex. Mediastinal and pleural lipomatosis can be associated with obesity and is usually considered asymptomatic and benign. We report an obese 39‐year‐old man who presented with progressive dyspnoea,

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for a Cystic Seminoma of the Mediastinum

, 2011
Mediastinal seminomas are uncommon primary mediastinal neoplasms, and most are solid in appearance. Cystic mediastinal seminoma is an unusual type of extragonadal germ cell tumor that has rarely been reported in the literature. Here we describe a 36-year-

Parallel Liquid Biopsy Analysis of miR‐371a‐3p and Cell‐Free DNA in an Unselected Cohort of Patients With Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite robust data showing strong potential to improve diagnosis and disease monitoring in testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), miR‐371a‐3p testing has not yet been implemented in routine clinical practice. Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) represents another promising liquid biopsy biomarker that may provide complementary molecular ...

Pulmonary Hamartoma Diagnosed by Transbronchial Mediastinal Cryobiopsy Additional to Needle Aspiration: A Case Report. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
This report presents a diagnostically challenging pulmonary hamartoma manifesting as a peribronchial lesion mimicking interlobar lymphadenopathy without typical radiological hallmarks. Limited tissue acquired via EBUS‐TBNA precluded a conclusive diagnosis, whereas supplementary transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy yielded larger, structurally ...

CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL SPECTRUM OF MEDIASTINAL LESIONS WITH IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF MEDIASTINAL NEOPLASMS

Background: Mediastinal lesions comprise a heterogeneous group of congenital, inflammatory, benign, and malignant disorders accounting for approximately 3% of all thoracic tumors and often present significant diagnostic challenges because of their varied

Androgens Modulate Tumor–Immune Interactions in Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The majority of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are derived from the germ cell neoplasia in situ and arise after puberty in the local presence of high levels of testosterone. The seminoma subtype features a rich inflammatory infiltrate which impacts tumor progression but the role of testosterone in shaping tumor–immune ...

Pathophysiology of Delayed Gastric Conduit Emptying After Oesophagectomy: A Multicentre Cohort Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
In this multicentre study of 272 patients, early and late delayed gastric conduit emptying after oesophagectomy emerged as distinct phenotypes. Early DGCE was predicted by open surgery, whereas late DGCE was predicted by GOJ tumour location and postoperative complications.

Radiation therapy for persistent or progressive mediastinal lymphoma after chemotherapy in FeLV‐positive cats: a retrospective case series of four cats

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Background Mediastinal lymphoma in feline leukaemia virus (FeLV)‐positive cats is associated with a poor prognosis, and therapeutic options may be limited when adequate disease control is not achieved with chemotherapy. The efficacy of radiation therapy in this setting has not been established.

Right brachiocephalic cavernous hemangioma: a rare vascular mimic of a superior mediastinal mass

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Cavernous hemangiomas of the mediastinum are rare vascular malformations that can mimic neoplasms on imaging. Their imaging features often overlap with those of malignant superior mediastinal masses, presenting a diagnostic challenge.
