Primary mediastinal seminoma is a kind of germ cell malignancy outside the gonads, and it's rarer with sarcoma component. This disease which has no special clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics is difficult to identify with other mediastinal tumors and mediastinal type lung cancer. This paper reported a case of primary mediastinal seminoma with mediastinal sarcoma. Through the analysis of the diagnosis and treatment process in this patient, we will make a comprehensive review of the disease.

Introduction And Importance: Thymoma is the most common primary anterior mediastinal tumor in adults. Invasive thymomas infiltrate organs adjacent to the mediastinal pleura, including the lungs, great vessels, heart, pericardium, and diaphragm. Complete resection of invasive thymoma leads to a better prognosis.

The goal of this study was to summarize the radiological findings and clinical characteristics of mediastinal Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/PNET) in children. A retrospective review was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of 6 children with primary mediastinal ES/PNET that was confirmed by pathology. There were 3 girls and 3 boys in this study, aged between 2 and 11 years old.

Background: Sampling of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) abutting the pleura carries a higher risk of pneumothorax and complications. Although typically performed with image-guided transthoracic biopsy, the advent of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) provides an alternative diagnostic procedure for this subtype of lesions.
Methods: A retrospective study on PPL attached to the peripheral pleura (PP), comprising costal and diaphragmatic pleura, mediastinal pleura (MP), and fissural pleura (FP) sampled by ssRAB, from January 2020 to December 2023.

Background: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) can lead to a severe complication known as recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (RLNP). Existing literature supports that recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is the principal etiology of RLNP, a complication potentially mitigated through intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). In this study, we examined the comprehensive effectiveness of IONM during esophageal resection by performing a meta-analysis.
