Fallibility of transthoracic needle biopsy of anterior mediastinal masses.
Percutaneous transthoracic core needle biopsy has been advocated as a highly accurate technique for the diagnosis of anterior mediastinal masses. A patient is described with a large anterior mediastinal mass in whom the diagnosis of mediastinal carcinoid tumour was made by transthoracic core needle biopsy. At definitive surgical resection the tumour proved to be a B cell lymphoma. This case ill...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced US-guided percutaneous biopsy of anterior mediastinal lesions.
PURPOSE We aimed to explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in guidance of percutaneous biopsy of anterior mediastinal lesions. METHODS Ninety patients with solitary anterior mediastinal lesions (55 males, 35 females; mean age, 46±4 years) were included. Patients were randomly divided into CEUS group (n=45) and conventional ultrasonography (US) group (n=45). Real-time US...

Multiple different types of anterior mediastinal masses may be encountered on computed tomography (CT) imaging, and many of these lesions are neoplastic in etiology. These include masses arising from the thymus, thyroid and parathyroid glands, as well as lymph nodes, pericardium, and vessels and nerves. Often, the CT attenuation of the mass can be helpful in narrowing down the differential diag...

متن کاملMini-mediastinotomy under local anesthesia for biopsy of anterior mediastinal masses with airway compression.
INTRODUCTION Management strategies for anterior mediastinal masses (AMMs) depend strongly on the histopathological diagnosis. The manifestations of these masses sometimes are an emergency because of large airway or great vessel compression which make general anesthesia challenging and hazardous and many authors have emphasized the dangers of general anesthesia in such patients. METHODS This p...
