  • Primary Mediastinal Liposarcoma
    The Annals of African Surgery, 2015
    Co-Authors: Yassine Ouadnouni, M Serraj, J. Ghalimi, Marouane Lakranbi, Mohamed Smahi
    Abstract:

    Liposarcomas (LPS) are uncommon and present diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging allow for a diagnostic orientation, allowing differentiated from other more common tumors of the anterior Mediastinum. Surgery is the treatment of choice and has the advantage of being curative. We report a case of well-differentiated liposarcoma of the anterior Mediastinum. Key Words : Liposarcoma, Mediastinum, Surgery

  • Mature teratoma of the posterior Mediastinum
    Revue de pneumologie clinique, 2002
    Co-Authors: Mohamed Smahi, M Serraj, A Chafik, A Achir, A S Alaziz, A El Maslout, A Benosman
    Abstract:

    Mature teratoma is the most frequent primary germ-cell occurring in the anterior Mediastinum. We report a case of a 67-year-old man with mature teratoma of the posterior Mediastinum. Computed tomography was helpful in suggesting a diagnosis of mature teratoma by demonstrating the presence of fat and calcification.

  • Mesenchymal tumours of the Mediastinum—part I
    Virchows Archiv, 2015
    Co-Authors: Michael A. Bakker, Alexander Marx, Kiyoshi Mukai, Philipp Ströbel
    Abstract:

    The Mediastinum is an anatomically defined space in which organs and major blood vessels reside with surrounding soft tissue elements. The thymus is an important organ in the Mediastinum, and many of the masses encountered in the Mediastinum are related to this organ. Most neoplasms diagnosed in the Mediastinum are epithelial tumours (thymomas and thymic carcinomas), lymphomas or germ cell tumours. In contrast, soft tissue tumours of the Mediastinum are rare. In 1963, Pachter and Lattes systematically reviewed soft tissue pathology of the Mediastinum, covering the hitherto described [ 2 , 226 , 227 ] In this review, based on the 2013 WHO classification of soft tissue tumours and the 2015 WHO classification of tumours of the lung, pleura, thymus and heart, we provide an updated overview of mesenchymal tumours that may be encountered in the Mediastinum.

  • Mesenchymal tumours of the Mediastinum—part II
    Virchows Archiv, 2015
    Co-Authors: Michael A. Bakker, Alexander Marx, Kiyoshi Mukai, Philipp Ströbel
    Abstract:

    This is the second part of a two-part review on soft tissue tumours which may be encountered in the Mediastinum. This review is based on the 2013 WHO classification of soft tissue tumours and the 2015 WHO classification of tumours of the lung, pleura, thymus and heart and provides an updated overview of mesenchymal tumours that have been reported in the Mediastinum.
