TERATOID tumors originating in the anterior mediastinum are well known. In our experience they constitute the commonest tumor at this site. The majority are cystic and benign.1 Morphologically, var ...

The tumor was an enormous one and consisted of two parts, one lying in the mediastinum embracing the ascending aorta and extending to the anterior wall of the chest and from the level of the heart ...

Abstract Although rare, intraneural hemangiomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of peripheral nerve lesions. We report on a 59-year-old female patient, who was admitted to the ...

While mediastinal tumors are relatively rare, they can be difficult to differentiate from other tumor types, may be invasive, and tend to recur at higher rates than other solitary fibrous tumors.

It exhibited patchy, mild hypermetabolic activity with a max SUV of 4.0 which was greater than the mediastinal blood pool. Due to low mass activity on the PET/CT images (Fig 3), the diagnosis of ...

Thymomas and thymic carcinoma (TC) are malignant thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) that arise from the anterior mediastinum. The National Cancer Institute's SEER tumor registry estimates the incidence ...

The mass was located in the mediastinum, the space between the lungs that houses the heart, lymph nodes, nerves and other structures in the chest, according to the online medical resource StatPearls.

Objectives: This study aimed to distinguish preoperatively anterior mediastinal thymic cysts from thymic epithelial tumors via a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics nomogram. Results: The ...

Abstract The authors report a case of Large Anterior mediastinal mass in which Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) revealed a large mass that was compressing the right atrium, SVC, henceforth, TEE ...

Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the upper anterior mediastinum mimicking a thyroid tumor has rarely been seen in clinical practice and lacks a standard of care therapy. Here, we report a ...

Purpose: To quantitatively evaluate the volume-based metabolic tumor burden including metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis in different tumors in the supra anterior mediastinum with 18 F ...
