Background: Intrathoracic kidney (ITK) is a rare congenital disease, with only about 40 pediatric cases reported worldwide to date. ITK associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is even rarer, and we report a case of an infant with ITK combined with a giant CDH.

Case Description And Management: A six-month-old male infant was hospitalized due to "vomiting for 4 days".

The solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare intrathoracic neoplasm that commonly originates from the subpleural mesenchymal cells of the visceral pleura and accounts for less than 5% of all pleural tumors. We reported a case of a 54-year-old man with a two-week history of hypoglycemia, a six-month history of productive cough and fatigue, and chronic right chest pain. Radiological techniques revealed a giant intra-thoracic mass with hypervascularization, and pathological staining was carried out to make a definitive diagnosis of SFTP.

Article Synopsis
  • Primary hyperparathyroidism is an endocrine disorder that can cause high calcium levels, often found without symptoms in patients.
  • A 47-year-old male case study highlights the mild presentation of significant hormonal issues, where fasting may have contributed to kidney stone development despite no major symptoms initially.
  • After surgery to remove a large parathyroid adenoma, the patient faced additional complications but ultimately achieved biochemical remission, demonstrating the importance of vigilant monitoring in similar cases.

Article Synopsis
  • * Imaging showed that part of his gastrointestinal tract had moved into the chest cavity, leading to the diagnosis of a diaphragmatic hernia, which required surgery.
  • * During the surgery, a 12x8 cm hernia was found, and traditional mesh repair was deemed insufficient, prompting the use of a myocutaneous flap from the left rectus abdominis to successfully close the defect.

Pathological features of intrathoracic histiocytic sarcoma in an Amami spiny rat (Tokudaia osimensis).

J Vet Med Sci

October 2024

Laboratory of Veterinary Pathology, Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.

A 4-year 9-month-old Amami spiny rat reared in a zoo died following a history of anorexia, weight loss, and respiratory distress. At necropsy, neoplastic tissues were found along the pleura and adhered to the thoracic wall, heart, and lungs. Histologically, the tumor was composed of diffuse, patternless sheets of large round to polygonal neoplastic cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, and multinucleated giant cells were often present.
