متن کاملPrimary Thoracic Wall Hydatid Cyst Extended to the Abdominal wall: A Case Report

However, other parts of the body and even unusual locations can be infected, mimicking a benign lesion that could be easily missed. Primary HC of the chest wall is extremely rare, even in countries where echinococcosis is endemic. We he...

The authors report on a 21days old female infant with late-presenting right ...
متن کاملRole of magnetic resonance imaging in intrathoracic hepatocarcinoma diagnosis.
We have read with great interest the article by Scanagatta and colleagues [1] reporting the case of a huge hepatocarcinoma (HCC) with intrathoracic extension. The authors addressed the diagnostic challenge to recognise tumour origin and possible pitfalls with intrathoracic neoplasm; they also advocated the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to better characterise lesion relationships. As w...
