Refractory Chylothorax in Primary Mediastinal Large B‐Cell Lymphoma: A Case of Superior Vena Cava Obstruction Thrombosis‐Induced Lymphatic Leak Salvaged by Mechanical Thrombectomy

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
A patient with mediastinal lymphoma developed refractory chylothorax due to SVC thrombosis. Mechanical thrombectomy restored venous patency and resolved the chylothorax, avoiding thrombolysis and upfront stenting. ABSTRACT Chylothorax is an uncommon presentation of mediastinal lymphoma, typically attributed to direct tumour invasion.

Mediastinal Extrapleural Air Mimicking a Bulla in a Non‐Expandable Lung

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
A bulla‐like mediastinal air collection was observed in a patient with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis complicated by secondary pneumothorax and a non‐expandable lung. Internal web‐like strands and subsequent regression during drainage, together with the absence of an autopsy correlate, supported intrathoracic extrapleural air rather than a fixed ...
