Single-stage surgical management of simultaneous pulmonary and splenic hydatidosis: A rare case report.

Introduction: hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, primarily affects the liver and lungs, with splenic involvement being exceedingly rare, occurring in only 0.5 % of cases. This case report highlights a 17-year-old male presenting with a complicated hydatid cyst in the lung, along with an incidental splenic cyst, emphasizing the importance of single-stage surgery in treating multi-organ hydatid disease.

Unexpected posterior mediastinal mass: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Glomangioma is an uncommon hypervascular tumor typically found in the extremities, with primary occurrences in the mediastinum being exceedingly rare.

Case Presentation: A 38-year-old male presented to our cardio-thoracic surgery department with chest pain. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a 45 mm posterior paravertebral right solidocystic mass, a finding confirmed by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a solidocystic mass in the posterior paravertebral right pleura suggesting a fibrous tumor exhibiting cystic degeneration.

A poor prognosis of a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst with malignant transformation: A case report.

Introduction: Bronchogenic cysts (BC) are congenital lesions, it results from an abnormal budding of the tracheobronchial tree. Malignant transformation is very rare. We report a case of adenocarcinoma arising in a BC of the posterior mediastinum detected after surgery.

Thoracoscopic retrieval of an intrapulmonary sewing needle: A case report.

The intrathoracic sewing needle is an exceedingly rare condition mildly documented in the literature. Given the needle's tendency to migrate, it must be removed as soon as possible, and the minimally invasive technique should be tried first.

Bilateral pulmonary hydatidosis associated with uncommon muscular localization.

Introduction: The lung is the second most commonly affected organ by hydatidosis, and the bilateral involvement is rare even in endemic regions.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 27-year-old patient who presented with right basithoracic pain and cough evolving for three months. Thoracic CT scan revealed two homogeneous, rounded cystic formations enhancing after injection of the contrast media, located in the lateral basal segments of the lower lobe.

Gigantic Mediastino-Abdominal Hydatic Cyst Through Esophageal Hiatus.

Hydatid disease is one of the most widespread and endemic infections causing a substantial health and economic burden. The liver and lungs remain the most affected viscera. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with an atypical presentation: a hydatid cyst of the liver with a massive extension to the mediastinum through the esophagus hiatus.

Penetrating injury of the ascending aorta complicating a sternal biopsy.

Bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy are considered safe procedures. Some serious but rare adverse events directly attributable to these procedures have been related in a few reports in the literature. We report a rare case of ascending aortic injury following a sternal trephine biopsy.
