Background. Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid glands are parathyroid glands located completely below the clavicle. At present, most literature reports on ectopic mediastinal parathyroid tumors (EMPT) are case reports or small case sequences. Methods.

Video Mediastinoscopically Assisted Tracheal Release in Treatment of Long Tracheal Stenosis
The main prerequisite for the unimpaired wound healing after resection of tracheal stenosis is its tension-free end-to-end anastomosis. This is only achievable when the tracheal ends can be adequately mobilized.

Lymphangiohaemangioma of the mediastinum
Lymphangiohaemangiomas are rare congenital malformations, which on histological examination show both vascular and lymphatic elements. Clinically they tend to behave as lymphangiomas. Conservative management is usually recommended, with intervention only if vital structures are affected or if required for cosmetic reasons (Bruce Williams, 1981 ...

Cell Germ primary tumor of mediastinum (seminoma of mediastinum)
Background: the anterior mediastinal germ cell tumor is a formation of neoplastic cells located in the mediastinum. They are formed by congenital defects in the embryonic stage by migration of the primordial germ cell and dermal cells that are within the

Mediastinal cysts are mostly congenital, but rarely, infections and malignancies can cause cystic degeneration of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. Diagnosis is challenging as the presenting symptoms are nonspecific.

Age prediction using a large chest X-ray dataset [PDF]
Age prediction based on appearances of different anatomies in medical images has been clinically explored for many decades. In this paper, we used deep learning to predict a persons age on Chest X-Rays. Specifically, we trained a CNN in regression fashion on a large publicly available dataset. Moreover, for interpretability, we explored activation maps

Successful Resection of a Large Incidentally Found Primary Mediastinal Liposarcoma
Primary liposarcoma of the mediastinum is an uncommon tumour. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who was found incidentally to have a large anterior mediastinal mass. Complete removal of the tumour was accomplished successfully.

Mask the Unknown: Assessing Different Strategies to Handle Weak Annotations in the MICCAI2023 Mediastinal Lymph Node Quantification Challenge [PDF]
Pathological lymph node delineation is crucial in cancer diagnosis, progression assessment, and treatment planning. The MICCAI 2023 Lymph Node Quantification Challenge published the first public dataset for pathological lymph node segmentation in the mediastinum.

Integrating cross-modality hallucinated MRI with CT to aid mediastinal lung tumor segmentation [PDF]
Lung tumors, especially those located close to or surrounded by soft tissues like the mediastinum, are difficult to segment due to the low soft tissue contrast on computed tomography images. Magnetic resonance images contain superior soft-tissue contrast information that can be leveraged if both modalities were available for training.
