A 76-year-old male with anterior mediastinal tumor was admitted to our hospital. He had undergone mediastinal lipoma surgery 3 years earier. The tumor was excised surgically. Microscopic sections of the tumor showed liposarcoma composed of myxoid tissue. Further examination of prior specimens taken from this patient proved this case to be a recurre...

A 54-year-old patient presented with amaurosis of the right eye that resulted from a dysontogenetic tumor of the right optic nerve. The tumor involved the intraorbital, intracanalicular and intracerebral portion of the right optic nerve, without involvement of the chiasm. Although the patient had refused further diagnostic surgical exploration, we ...

Mediastinal masses are uncommonly encountered in childhood. These tumours are often interesting because of the varied mediastinal tissues from which they arise. Despite extensive investigations, a large percentage of these lesions remain undiagnosed prior to operation. We describe two rare cases of mediastinal lipoma. The first was incidentally dia...

Giant pedunculated esophageal polyps are very rare. They may stay asymptomatic for a long time, and first come to the attention of the patient and the clinician after regurgitation into the mouth. Regurgitation, however, can be dangerous and has been known to lead to asphyxia and death due to closure of the larynx by the polyp mass. For this reason...

The authors report two female patients with chronic sensitive and motor findings in lower limbs caused by compression of distal branches of sciatic nerve by lipoma. Similar eases were not described on literature. Nerve conduction studies allowed to localize the exact site of compression. At surgery, lipomas compressing the deep peroneal nerve (case...
