We report two cases, of 48- and 53-year-old women, with huge intrathoracic extrapulmonary tumors which originated from the diaphragm. In these cases the totally resected tumors were examined histologically and immunohistochemically, and based on these studies benign localized solitary fibrous tumors originating from the diaphragmatic pleura were diagnosed. We observed no recurrence in the long-term follow-up, which was necessary for these cases due to the tumors' unpredictable clinical behavior even when they were thought to be benign histologically. Because of the huge sizes of these tumors, originating from the diaphragmatic pleura with pedicles, and benign clinical outcome correlating with the histological examination, these cases are thought to be worthy of interest.

Thymoma is a common malignancy with low incidence, and pleural metastases are common pattern of recurrence. It is necessary that the spatial location of pleural metastatic lesions be analyzed. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution patterns of pleural dissemination in patients with thymoma and evaluate the variables that influence the survival of pleural metastasis in this population.

Unlabelled: Thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) is a rare condition where endometrial tissue is found in the pleura, parenchyma, and/or diaphragm. Haemoptysis is a common manifestation of pulmonary endometriosis and can be cyclic, aligning with the menstrual cycle. Patients can present with residual cough once menses have stopped.

Department of Respiratory Medicine, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Nedlands, Western Australia, Australia.
Brown-colored pleural effusion is rare and may result from high bilirubin levels such as bilothorax (often described as a pleural fluid-to-serum bilirubin ratio of > 1.0). We describe four patients with malignant pleural effusion that appeared macroscopically brown with a pleural fluid-to-serum bilirubin ratio between 3.

Objectives: To evaluate the oncological efficacy and complications of cryoablation (CA) in treating lung metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) at the lung periphery.
Materials And Methods: The inclusion criteria for this bicenter retrospective study included patients with histologically confirmed CRC, with radiologically confirmed lung metastases at the periphery of the lung (distance of less than or equal to 2 cm from the costal, diaphragmatic, or cervical pleura) treated with CA between January 2017 and June 2022. Patients with intra-parenchymal metastases or metastases close to the mediastinal pleura and patients without follow-up were excluded.
