Anterior mediastinal solitary fibrous tumor resection by da Vinci® Surgical System in obese patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumors are uncommon soft tissue tumors initially reported only in the pleura but, in recent years, they have been described at many extra pleural sites, such as mediastinum. The treatment of choice is the extensive surgical resection that is curative for most benign lesions. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE We present the case of solitary fibrous tumor of the anterior mediastinum in obese patient (BMI: 34.3) undergoing complete surgical resection by robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with da Vinci® Surgical System. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with da Vinci® Surgical System is an interesting option for obese patient, at higher risk for deep sternal wound infection.

Anterior Trans Cervicothoracic Approach for Complete Resection of Cervicothoracic Mediastinal Neurogenic Tumors
Introduction:Neurogenic mediastinal tumors comprise a wide range of benign and malignant diseases. A group of these tumors, located at thoracic apex, sometimes spread to cervical spaces causing numerous surgical difficulties. In thoracotomy approaches, due to proximity of the tumors to major blood vessels, complete removal of these tumors from cervical spaces is impossible or may cause intraope...

BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumors of the middle mediastinal space are uncommon and often not discovered until symptoms secondary to compression of adjacent structures occur. Diagnosis requires surgical biopsy and histological tissue analysis. We describe the ECHO appearance of the solitary fibrous tumor and successful non-invasive EBUS diagnosis. This method of diagnosis allowed for surgical p...

Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are rare primary pleural neoplasms which have recently been reported in extra-thoracic sites. In this report, solitary fibrous tumor arising in an intra-thoracic goiter with no evidence of cervical mass in a 74-year-old obese man who was found to have a large superior mediastinal mass with tracheal deviation on Chest X-Ray is presented.
متن کاملRapid metastasis of mediastinal solitary fibrous tumor
Rationale:Mediastinal solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms. Complete resection is considered as the effective treatment and the prognosis is quite good. Rapid metastasis after surgery is extremely rare. Patient concerns: In this case report we describe a 42-year-old man who present with a mediastinal malignant SFTs. Enhanced computed tomography of chest revealed a 4.5 4...
