Pseudoaneurysm of brachiocephalic artery mimicking the mediastinal tumor

eComment. Aneurysm of the internal mammary artery may imitate a mediastinal mass.

We read with great interest the presentation by Lindblom et al. [1] regarding an an-eurysm of the left internal mammary artery (IMA), which is a rare and potentially devastating pathology. The case presented has diagnostic challenges and a spontaneous rupture resulting in life-threatening bleeding. The authors suggested the importance of the careful interpretation of radiological findings and t...

Histomorphometric study of brachiocephalic artery of Japanese quail

Brachiocephalic arteries in quails are large arteries which are arising separately from the aortic arch. The aim of the present study was to determine the histomorphometric aspects of brachiocephalic arteries in the Japanese quail. The different layers of the brachiocephalic artery were studied quantitatively in 10, 20 and 60 days-old Japanese quail; (n = 6) and both sexes. Luminal diameter, th...

A Huge Lymphangioma Mimicking Pleural Effusion with Extension to Both Chest Cavities: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Mediastinal lymphangioma is primarily a benign lesion and the majority of the cases are found incidentally. These lesions account for approximately 1% of all mediastinal tumors. Here we present a giant mediastinal cystic mass in a 35-year-old female who was presented with severe respiratory distress. On the plain chest radiography and CT scan, a massive left pleural effusion with large paraster...

Tracheal obstruction caused by innominate artery pseudoaneurysm in a repeat surgical patient with Marfan syndrome

Traumatic Supratrochlear Artery Pseudoaneurysm With Spontaneous Resolution

Background: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the supratrochlear artery is a rare lesion. It manifests, as a painless mass, in the frontal region following trauma. The unusual incidence and confusing presentation require the clinicians to thoroughly understand its presentation and diagnosis. Diagnosis is typically made on history and physical examination, but it can be confirmed by duplex ultraso...
