INTRODUCTION Upper airway obstruction from a retropharyngeal mass requires urgent evaluation. In children, the differential diagnosis includes infection, trauma, neoplasm, and congenital abnormalities. Aberrant cervical thymic tissue, although occasionally observed on autopsy examination, is rarely clinically significant. We present the case of an infant with respiratory distress attributed to ...

We report a rare case of anterior mediastinal thymic cyst together with a thymoma and its intracystic dissemination. More attention should be given to intramural nodules, especially in patients with an anterior mediastinal thin wall cystic lesion.

Bronchogenic cysts with malignant change are rarely reported. We describe a case of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma arising from a cervical bronchial cyst in a patient presenting with a thyroid mass, cervical lymphadenopathy, and initial biopsy suggestive of papillary thyroid carcinoma. The clinical presentation, intraoperative findings, radiographic images, and pathology slides are presen...

BACKGROUND Thymic carcinomas are usually detected in the anterior mediastinum. Thymic carcinoma occurring in the middle mediastinum and showing an image of a cyst is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old man with a middle mediastinal tumor detected incidentally by a CT scan was referred. Chest CT showed an entirely cystic mass in the middle mediastinum between the bilateral brachioc...

INTRODUCTION Synovial cyst in the cervical spine is a very rare pathology that develops from the facet joint. When a synovial cyst emerges into the surrounding space, it can compress the nervous tissue and cause neurological symptoms. In the cervical area there is additionally the risk of spinal cord compression comparing to the more common presentation of synovial cysts in the lumbar spine. ...

conclusions to our knowledge, this is the first case of ctc that was identified incidentally in the retrocaval position and caused intermittent obstruction of vena cava. case presentation the present study reports on a 66-year-old female with coronary artery disease (cad) who was scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) at our hospital. during mediastinal exploration and pericardiot...

Synovial cysts are recognized as an uncommon cause of radicular and myelopathic symptoms. They are most frequently found in the lumbar region. The cervical spine or cervicothoracic junction is a rare location for a degenerative intraspinal synovial cyst as compared with the lumbar spine. At given cervical spinal levels, synovial cysts probably share clinical features with disc herniation and st...
