Intrathoracic tumours in patients with Von Recklinghausen's disease have been widely reported, but there are very few cases of reported intrathoracic giant benign neurofibroma with marked mediastinal shift and superior vena cava syndrome. Patients that present with this pathology should be adequately investigated. Surgical resection has been considered curative.

Circumferential Pulmonary Ossification From Lung Extraskeletal Osteosarcoma With Mediastinal Shift.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Department of Thoracic Medicine and Surgery, Temple University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Primary extraskeletal osteosarcoma of the lung is exceedingly rare and associated with a poor prognosis. This case report presents a patient with circumferential pulmonary ossification secondary to lung extraskeletal osteosarcoma with compressive mediastinal shift who underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy that led to resolution of symptoms. This case offers an approach to the operative management of primary thoracic osteosarcoma and suggests that even patients with advanced disease may be surgical candidates, particularly for symptom relief.

Objective: The advent of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in Mongolia has faced funding and accessibility challenges, leading to languid adoption. A Mongolian-Canadian collaboration was inaugurated to support the development of a self-sustainable, self-governed minimally invasive thoracic surgery (MITS) program in Mongolia.
Methods: A multidisciplinary Canadian thoracic surgery team collaborated with the National Cancer Center of Mongolia Thoracic Surgery service from 2016 to 2023.

Spondylo-Thoracic Dysplasia: Survival, a Rare Occurrence.

December 2024
Pediatric Medicine, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Spondylo-thoracic dysplasia (STD) is a rare congenital condition that affects the vertebrae and thoracic area, often leading to serious respiratory issues and a high risk of early death in neonates.
- The text details the case of a one-day-old male newborn with severe respiratory distress and various physical anomalies, including scoliosis and rib deformities, identified through clinical examinations and imaging studies.
- The baby was diagnosed with STD, received conservative management, and survived past the neonatal period, offering insights into this particular variant of the condition.
Leveraging anatomical constraints with uncertainty for pneumothorax segmentation.

Background: Pneumothorax is a medical emergency caused by the abnormal accumulation of air in the pleural space-the potential space between the lungs and chest wall. On 2D chest radiographs, pneumothorax occurs within the thoracic cavity and outside of the mediastinum, and we refer to this area as "lung + space." While deep learning (DL) has increasingly been utilized to segment pneumothorax lesions in chest radiographs, many existing DL models employ an end-to-end approach.
