Introduction: There is little information in the literature on the early, sub-clinical stage and laboratory test results in patients with primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the lung, a rare disease.
Case Description: In a 75-year-old man, an open lung biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of primary pulmonary lymphoma was preceded by almost six months of anaemia of inflammatory disease and monocytosis without any pulmonary symptoms. When he developed a dry cough, increasing dyspnoea and marked weight loss, these changes deepened and became associated with reactive thrombocytosis; markedly increased ferritin and C-reactive protein (positive acute-phase reactants), as well as reduced albumin and transferrin (negative acute-phase reactants).

Background: Testicular seminoma is the most common malignant tumor of the testis. It occurs at a rate of 5 per 100 000 men, primarily between the ages of 15 to 34. While seminomas typically occur in the testis, other primary sites include the mediastinum, the retroperitoneum, or other extra-gonadal sites.

Background: The objective of this study was to report the 5-year outcomes of hybrid arch frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedures with a multibranched hybrid graft.
Methods: Between 2014 and 2020, 50 consecutive patients (63 ± 15 years old; 34% women) underwent hybrid arch FET with Thoraflex hybrid graft (Terumo Aortic) at a single center. Indications included aortic aneurysm (n = 48 [96%]), acute aortic dissection (n = 10 [20%]), and chronic dissection (n = 20 [40%]).

Background: The aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) caused by thoracic endovascular aortic repair is a challenging condition. Traditional treatment approaches have been associated with high mortality and morbidity. This study introduces a modified single-stage surgical strategy that aims to optimize outcomes and to reduce the risk of recurrence for AEF.

Treatment of Kommerell diverticulum is challenging, often involving multistage repair to achieve successful exclusion of the aneurysmal diverticulum, division of the vascular ring to release compression, and reconstruction of the aberrant subclavian artery to maintain arm perfusion. A well-planned, elective repair remains the optimal scenario; however, emergency presentation can be extremely challenging, particularly in acute aortic dissection. We describe an innovative, single-stage approach using a novel multibranched hybrid arch frozen elephant trunk prosthesis to achieve complete repair of a Kommerell diverticulum and aberrant right subclavian artery in a patient who presented with an acute type A aortic dissection.
