Mediastinal goiters represent descent of thyroid tissue from the neck to the intra thoracic cavity most commonly in the anterior mediastinal compartment. Posterior mediastinal extension is uncommon, comprising only 10-15% of all mediastinal goiters. Thyroid masses within mediastinum may present with range of symptoms from being asymptomatic to severe compressive symptoms according to size and location.

Endometriosis, while prevalent, can manifest in extra-pelvic locations with varying degrees of rarity, but reports of multiple extra-pelvic sites within a patient are extremely rare. We report a unique case of a 45-year-old female with concurrent inguinal endometriosis and catamenial pneumothorax. The patient experienced recurrent menstruation-associated right chest pain and subsequently developed right inguinal pain.

Background: Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segment of the lung is a rare congenital pulmonary vascular malformation, historically classified as a variant of intra-lobar pulmonary sequestration. The standard surgical approach has typically involved ligation of the anomalous artery in combination with lobectomy or segmentectomy.
Case Description: We present three cases of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segment of the lung, all successfully treated with thoracoscopic anomalous arterial ligation alone.

Performing a bronchial sleeve resection followed by bronchoplasty is considered technically challenging.
