Combined adrenal and mediastinal cystic lesion

Anterior mediastinal cystic lesion: excise rather than delay.

COMBINED MONTEGGIA LESION AND ELBOW DISLOCATION

This case is a 19-year-old soldier who suffered a combined elbow dislocation and posterior Monteggia fracture and dislocation (type II). The ulna fracture was managed by ORIF. The elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction and immobilization in 900 flexion. The posteriorly dislocated radial head was kept reduced by a transarticular pin.

Solitary cystic mediastinal lymphangioma.

Solitary cystic mediastinal lymphangioma (CML) is a very uncommon benign vascular tumour developed from lymphatic vessels. Cystic lymphangioma is a cyst caused by a congenital malformation of the lymphatic vessels and can affect any site in the body, but ,1% of lymphangiomas are mediastinal [1] and pulmonary lesions are even less common. They are most often located in the anterior mediastinum. ...

Cystic Mediastinal Schwannoma Presenting

Cystic schwannoma represents a neurogenic tumor of the mediastinum rarely reported in literature. Its rupture in the pleural cavity remains exceptional. We hereby report the case of a patient who presented with pleurisy for which diagnostic imaging including thoracic MRI revealed a cystic schwannoma ruptured in the pleura. This case, to the best of our knowledge, represents the very first of it...

With the increasing use of abdominal cross-sectional imaging, incidental adrenal masses are being detected more often. The important clinical question is whether these lesions are benign adenomas or malignant primary or secondary masses. Benign adrenal masses such as lipid-rich adenomas, myelolipomas, adrenal cysts and adrenal haemorrhage have pathognomonic cross-sectional imaging appearances. ...
