Mature mediastinal teratoma with adhesions to the pericardium: A rare case report.

Key Clinical Message: Mature mediastinal teratoma (MMT) is a benign tumor that is composed of well-differentiated tissues from all three germ cell layers. Malignant tumors have a distinct feature of adhering to the surrounding organs. Therefore, adhesion of MMT to the adjacent tissues, as a benign tumor, is rare and considered a surgical challenge.

Primary left intrathoracic extrapulmonary trans-diaphragmatic hydatid cyst causing eventration: first case in literature.

Hydatidosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the cystic stage of Echinococcus species. Intrathoracic extrapulmonary hydatid cysts causing eventration are very rare. Here, we report a case of a 62-year-old female who presented with chest pain, intermittent coughing, general weakness, and fever.

Large tumoral pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia with ER/PR stromal negativity in a 20-year-old female: A rare case report.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a rare lesion of the breast stromal tissue with unknown mechanism. Hormonal stimulation of mammary myofibroblasts is the most important theory due to stromal positivity of progesterone receptor (PR) or/and estrogen receptor (ER). We report a case of PASH with stromal PR/ER negativity.

Endobronchial metastasis secondary to occulting renal cell carcinoma: literature review and a rare case report.

Background: Endobronchial Metastasis from extrathoracic tumors is a rare neoplasm that accounts for approximately 1.1% of total endobronchial malignancies. The most common primary tumors associated with EBM are from the colorectal, breast, and kidney regions.

Lymphoblastic lymphoma in two young siblings (coincidence or genetics?): two case reports.

Background: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the fourth most common malignancy in children, and it is not considered to be a hereditary disorder. However, it could affect members from the same family.

Case Presentation: We are presenting two cases of Caucasian female siblings who were diagnosed with mediastinal lymphoblastic lymphoma in the same year.

Developing a reproducible non-line-of-sight experimental setup for testing wireless medical device coexistence utilizing ZigBee.

The integration of heterogeneous wireless technologies is believed to aid revolutionary healthcare delivery in hospitals and residential care. Wireless medical device coexistence is a growing concern given the ubiquity of wireless technology. In spite of this, a consensus standard that addresses risks associated with wireless heterogeneous networks has not been adopted.
