solitary fibrous tumors (sfts) are rare primary pleural neoplasms which have recently been reported in extra-thoracic sites. in this report, solitary fibrous tumor arising in an intra-thoracic goiter with no evidence of cervical mass in a 74-year-old obese man who was found to have a large superior mediastinal mass with tracheal deviation on chest x-ray is presented.

BACKGROUND Tumor induced hypoglycemia (TIH) is a rare clinical entity that can be caused by different mechanisms such as secretion of various substances, autoimmune disorders, massive tumoral infiltration of liver, and pituitary or adrenal glands destruction by tumors. Furthermore, any type of neoplasms can cause TIH. CASE PRESENTATION The patient presented with a case of classic biphasic pul...

  Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are rare primary pleural neoplasms which have recently been reported in extra-thoracic sites. In this report, solitary fibrous tumor arising in an intra-thoracic goiter with no evidence of cervical mass in a 74-year-old obese man who was found to have a large superior mediastinal mass with tracheal deviation on Chest X-Ray is presented.

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Chest-X-ray has several limitations in detecting the extent of pulmonary disease in sarcoidosis. It might not reflect the degree of pulmonary involvement in patients with sarcoidosis when compared to computed tomography of the thorax. We aimed to investigate the HRCT findings of pulmonary sarcoidosis and to find out the existence of possible relations between HRCT findi...

Although primary bronchopulmonary fibrosarcoma is a rare tumor, it may be characterized by the symptoms of acute respiratory distress occurring during the first moments of life in a newborn. It is one of the leading congenital malignant neoplasms of the lung, but is considered a borderline tumor since its biological behavior is much more favorable than that of adult fibrosarcomas. In the absenc...

Accurate and efficient simulation of an x-ray transform for representative structures plays an important role in research and development of x-ray CT, for the evaluation and improvement of CT image reconstruction algorithms, in particular. Superquadrics are a family of three-dimensional objects, which can be used to model a variety of anatomical structures. In this paper, we propose an algorith...

Corresponding Author: Nikolaos G. Baikoussis, MD; e-mail: [email protected] initial computed tomography (CT) are representative of thoracic trauma. Chest x-ray (Figure 1a) revealed a well circumscribed opacity in the left haemithorax recommending the contrast mediated thorax computed tomography (CT). The CT immediately performed shown left rib fractures and a D-shaped opacity in the left side of...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Spontaneous pneumothorax is common between young, thin people, usually without previous history of any respiratory disease or symptom. Of note, there has been not observed any other characteristics or findings from thorax imaging (Rx and thorax computed tomography-CT) in these people, in exception of blebs or bullae in upper lobes of the lungs. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...
