Pulmonary blastomas are a rare aggressive neoplasm comprising 0.25-0.5% of all primary lung tumours. Morphologically they mimic foetal lung tissue before 4 months gestation. Study reports a case of 23-year-old male patient who came with heaviness in chest and breathing difficulty since one and a half months. On CT scan of chest, findings are suggestive of anterior mediastinal mass extending till right hila with cardiac displacement and compression. Histopathology confirmed the presence of pulmonary blastoma.

Abstract Primary thymic mucinous adenocarcinoma is extremely rare; to our knowledge, only 2 cases have been reported to date. We describe a third case of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the thymus in a 41-year-old man who presented with an anterior mediastinal mass with subsequent metastasis to the lung. The initial diagnosis was of metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma, but extensive clinical workup of the patient failed to reveal a primary tumor elsewhere in the body. The specific identification of mucinous adenocarcinoma as a primary thymic neoplasm can be difficult or impossible. Morphologic and immunophenotypic similarities to mucinous adenocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract can pose diagnostic challenges for surgical pathologists, especially in small biopsy specimens.

Primary Retroperitoneal

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystic neoplasms are very rare, especially in men. To our knowledge, only 13 cases of such neoplasms have been reported in men to date. The most common type is the primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma, which almost invariably affects females. Most patients present with non-specific symptoms. In this case report, we will describe a case of a 53 year old male patient who presented with raised CEA tumour marker and vague right sided abdominal discomfort. A computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, which revealed a 4.9 × 4.7 × 7.5 cm lobulated retroperitoneal cystic lesion abutting the posterior wall of the mid ascending colon. A laparoscopic excision was eventually performed with complete removal of the retroperitoneal cystic lesion. Subsequent histological assessment confirmed the diagnosis of a primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma with borderline malignancy. On comparison with a prior CT scan performed about seven and a half years earlier, we managed to derive a doubling rate of about 626 days, which is the first reported case in English literature to document the growth rate of such a tumour. The patient has since been discharged well, with no evidence of tumour recurrence on an interval CT scan.

We present a case of a severe head injuried 23 year-old male patient. The initial CT scan disclosed bilateral epidural hematoma, isodense with the brain, thus being a pitfall in diagnosis. Brief case report, image and literature rewiew are presented.

Slow Growing

Thymolipomas are rare, slow-growing, benign anterior mediastinal neoplasms which are very often detected incidentally. Here we present a case of a 47 year old female who presented with chest discomfort and radiology revealed an anterior mediastinal mass. Total thymectomy was done and histopathology showed features consistent with thymolipoma. Very few cases of thymolipomas have been reported in Indian and world literature.
