The authors report a case of Large Anterior mediastinal mass in which Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) revealed large that was compressing the right atrium, SVC, henceforth, TEE helped guiding aspiration and surgical resection cystic mass. Therefore, through this report, emphasize the importance performing intraoperative real-time TEE mediastinal mass. This imaging technique helps ...

Biopsy, using mediastinoscopy is commonly employed for accurate histologic diagnosis of a mediastinal mass. However, since the mass is not removed during the procedure, it may cause compression of vital structures such as major airways, the heart, the pulmonary artery, and the superior vena cava after surgery. We observed a case of a 66-year-old man with a mediastinal mass that caused severe ai...

The purpose of this study was to analyse a correlation among lung cancer morphology, growth type, localisation and pleura as well as mediastinal invasion. Materials and methods. Data on 372 patients have been analysed. Mediastinal invasion was histologically confirmed in 128 (34.4%) patients. Aorta invasion was confirmed in 21 (5.6%), vena cava superior in 11 (2.9%), pericardium in 55 (14.8%), ...

TOPIC: Cardiovascular Disease TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: T-wave inversion (TWI) is a negative of ≥1 mm in depth two or more contiguous leads, with exclusion leads aVR, III, and V1[1]. TWI has wide differential diagnosis that can range from benign causes including normal variants to life-threatening coronary artery disease rarely be related non-cardiac [1]. CASE PR...

Although gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract, it rarely arises from the esophagus and is thus very rarely the cause of a mediastinal mass. We report a case of esophageal GIST presenting as a mediastinal mass in a 59-yearold male. If such a tumor has extremely exophytic growth, it may result in a huge mediastinal mass withou...

Background and Objective: Mediastinal masses in children are a heterogenous group of asymptomatic potentially life-threatening congenital, infectious, or neoplastic lesions that present complex diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. Materials and Methods: The clinical and laboratory features of 65 patients...
