Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is one of the uncommon diseases. About 40% of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are of a visceral and peduncled type. Several visceral pleural tumors have motility. A proof of motility of the intrathoracic tumor is useful for preoperative diagnosis. We report a resected case of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura presenting dry cough induced by postural...

Soft tissue tumors are generally defined as tumors of connective tissues, including nonosseous sarcomas, benign mesenchymal tumors, and tumor-like proliferations. These tumors are usually considered to include non-osseous tumors of the extremities, trunk wall, intraabdominal and intrathoracic space, and head and neck, although definitions vary. Generally excluded from this definition are nonmes...

More than half of all solid tumors receive external beam ionizing radiation as part of multimodality treatment. The goal of radiation treatment is to treat disease while avoiding normal tissue toxicity. In many sites, dose escalation has been shown to offer local tumor control benefits. This has often been reported in the literature addressing irradiation of lung tumors. Lung cancer is the seco...

Chylopericardium is an uncommon condition, reported to occur following routine cardiac surgery, orthotopic heart transplantation, cardiac trauma, intrathoracic tumors, or infection. It has not, to date, been reported following uncomplicated orthotopic lung transplantation. This article describes chylopericardium following bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are uncommon in children and adolescents but occur more frequently in NF1 patients. Angiosarcomatous differentiation in MPNSTs is a rare entity with poor prognosis. We report on a 13-year-old boy with intrathoracic angiosarcoma arising in MPNST associated with NF1.

Benign tracheal tumors are rare, recurrent papillomatosis being the most common. They often simulate obstructive pulmonary diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and patients with benign tracheal tumors often undergo long-term treatment for such diseases, without any improvement, Therefore, these tumors should be included in the differential diagnosis in patients pr...

Abstract Backgrounds Surgical algorithm for esophagogastric junction cancer have been proposed according to the results of a recent prospective study. However, reconstruction method has yet be standardized. Esophagogastrostomy is often performed with esophageal invasion, although, it related frequent and severe complications. Recently, we introduced IntraThoracic Side-overlap EsophagoGastrostom...
