چکیده
Thymolipoma, is an anterior mediastinal relatively uncommon benign tumor that consists of thymic and fatty tissue which is surrounded by a capsule. Lange, in 1916 first described a case with thymolipoma (1). Moreover, the term “thymolipoma” was first used by Hall in 1949 (2). Although thymolipoma can occur at any age, 80% of the tumors occur during the 4th decade of life. There appears to be no gender-related difference in the incidence (3). Herein, we present a 22 year-old female who had asymptomatic mediastinal mass. Histologic features in this patient were consistent with thymolipoma.

Sudden death due to an unrecognized cardiac hydatid cyst: three medicolegal autopsy cases.
Echinococcosis is a human infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcocus granulosus. The most common sites of infection are the liver and the lungs. Cardiac hydatid cysts are very rare, even in regions where hydatic cysts are endemic (the Mediterranean, South America, Africa, and Australia). It has been reported that cardiac involvement is seen in about 0.5-3% of human echinococcosis ca...

Primary tumors of the heart and pericardium are rare in autopsy series. Considering all age groups, the most common cardiac tumor is the myxoma. They may arise in any of the four chambers or, rarely, on the heart valves. About 90% are located in the atria, with the left-to-right ratio of 4:1. The majority of patients are usually in the age group of 30-60 years. Female predominance has been repo...
