Background: The International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group (ITMIG) proposed an internationally accepted division of the mediastinum into three compartments based on computed tomography (CT): anterior (prevascular), middle (visceral) and posterior (paravertebral) compartment. There is no generally accepted definition for the term "giant" when applied to middle mediastinal lesions. We defined the term "giant" and described our surgical experience in treating patients with giant lesions of the middle mediastinum.

To compare the dose distributions of postoperative plans with preoperative plans for seeds implantations of paravertebral/retroperitoneal tumors assisted by 3D printing guide template and CT guidance, explore the effects of the technology for seeds implantations in dosimetry level and provide data support for the optimization and standardization in seeds implantation. Between December 2015 and July 2016, a total of 10 patients with paravertebral/retroperitoneal tumors (12 lesions) received 3D printing template assist radioactive seeds implantations in department of radiation oncology of Peking University Third Hospital, and included in the study. The diseases included cervical cancer, kidney cancer, abdominal stromal tumor, leiomyosarcoma of kidney, esophageal cancer and carcinoma of ureter.

Suspecting a nerve sheath tumour, she underwent posterior spinal decompression, stabilisation and debulking, following which her neurological symptoms resolved.

Background: In contrast to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), EBV-associated leiomyomatous tumors have thus far only rarely been described.
Case Report: Two years after heart transplantation with ATG induction, cyclosporine (CsA; trough levels of 250 ng/mL)-based triple drug immunosuppression), a 23-year-old patient developed a small round lesion within the left lateral liver segment. The patient underwent ultrasound-guided biopsy followed by liver resection.
