Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare condition characterized by the formation of blood cells outside the bone marrow. It is commonly seen in patients with hematopoietic disorders or chronic anemia. Here, we report the case of a 55-year-old patient who had extramedullary hematopoiesis that manifested as an asymptomatic posterior mediastinal mass. Chest computed tomography showed a 30 × 35-mm mass located on the left side of the D11 vertebra. Laboratory investigations revealed no signs of anemia. The tumor was safely and completely removed using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Pathological studies confirmed the extramedullary hematopoiesis nature of the tumor.

A case is presented of a posterior mediastinal mass arising in a 57-year-old woman with severe compressive cervical symptoms and hyperthyroidism. Computed tomography showed intrathoracic thyroid tissue that displaced the trachea towards the front and the right and invaded the posterior mediastinum. Pathological examination showed features of a poorly differentiated (insular) thyroid carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a posterior mediastinal insular thyroid carcinoma with thyroid hyperfunction.

Posterior Mediastinal

Complete mediastinal plunging thyroid gland is a rare entity, accounting for 1% of all mediastinal tumours, particularly posterior mediastinal tumour much more rare. We would like to present, a 30-year-old lady presented to ENT department with neck swelling and its further investigation shown to be giant posterior mediastinal mass. Thyroid function tests were normal. CT scans of the neck and chest revealed a large right mediastinal mass compressing the trachea from the right side and extending to the superior part of the posterior mediastinum with enlarged right thyroid gland in the cervical position. Midline extended sternotomy was done for complete surgical excision of the mass along with right hemi thyroidectomy. It was well circumscribed, capsulated, multinodular firm inconsistency, and vascular. Histopathology revealed thyroid tissue negative for malignancy. Giant plunging thyroid in the mediastinum is very rare. It should be differentiated from other mediastinal mass. The plunging goiter in posterior mediastinum is surgically challenging. Transsternal surgical removal is the treatment of choice in such cases.

Incidental extracardiac findings (ECFs) are commonly noted on cardiac imaging. The majority of the ECFs are noticed on computed tomography (CT), cardiac magnetic resonance scanning, and myocardial perfusion imaging. Although transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a widely used cardiac modality, there is scarcity of data describing ECF on TTE. ECFs have the potential to alter patient management. We present a rare case of a cystic mass seen in the posterior mediastinum on TTE, which led to further evaluation and diagnosis of esophagitis with ulceration.
