Tuberculous lymphadenitis is an uncommon form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis We report on a case of isolated Cervicomediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis without parenhimal involvement. A 49-year old woman was hospitalized with a four week history of night sweats and weight loss. Plain chest radiography disclosed mediastinal mass of the right side. Echocardiographic examination revealed a soft tissue mass below the ascending aorta and aortic arch causing moderate narrowing of the right ventricular outflow tract and the main pulmonary artery. Computed tomographic scanning showed soft tissue mass in the middle mediastinum surrouding the great vessels extending posteriorly with moderate compression of trachea. Histological examination of the cervical mass revealed caseating granuloma containing acidalcohol fast bacillus. Antituberculous chemiotherapy was started.

Soft tissue masses are amongst the commonest complaints encountered in orthopedic practice. Of these, masses found in the hand and the wrist are presented at higher frequency. They are often painful and may cause limitation of movement. This work describes the prevalence and the nature of soft tissue masses in the hand and wrist encountered in routine practice. This work was performed to assess the characteristics of soft tissue mass in the hand and the effectiveness of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of soft tissue masses and their differentiation from other lesions in the hand and wrist. Orthopedic surgical conditions that involve soft tissue in the hand and wrist may remain a diagnostic challenge when clinical diagnosis is uncertain and standard X-rays are non-diagnostic. High resolution ultrasound is widely available, non-invasive, without damage of radiation, imaging modality that can help the diagnosis. We reviewed retrospectively 25 patients with soft tissue masses. We compared the ultrasound findings with the histological findings in seven operated patients. A substantial majority of these lesions occurred in the right hand: 79% of the lesions were in the dorsal aspect of the hand, of which 37% were distal to the wrist joint, among them 42% at wrist either radial or ulnar; and 21% of the lesions were found in the volar aspect, among them 17% at wrist aspect, either radial or ulnar side. No predisposing factors could be found. The findings of this study reaffirm the utility of ultrasonography as primary diagnostic tool in routine orthopedic practice.

Pulmonary fibroelastomas are a rare primary cardiac tumor with less than 50 cases reported in the literature to date. We performed a minimally invasive valve-sparing tumor resection through a left anterior mini-incision (LAMI). The procedure was performed without cardiac arrest or aortic cross clamp, expediting postoperative recovery and allowing for an uncomplicated discharge on postoperative day 5. LAMI is a safe and reliable alternative to median sternotomy for patients requiring interventions on the right ventricular outflow tract and main pulmonary artery, including pulmonary fibroelastoma resection and pulmonary valve replacement when needed.

Peripheral Pulmonic Stenosis

AbstractA common systolic ejection murmur of the neonate has been attributed to physiologic peripheral pulmonic stenosis. We investigated this auscultatory finding using duplex pulsed Doppler. Three groups of normal fuliterm neonates less than one week old were studied—10 without murmurs, 10 with grade 1/6 murmurs and nine with at least grade 2/6 murmurs. We measured the anatomical size and peak flow velocities in the main pulmonary artery and left and right branches, the peak velocity in the right ventricular outflow tract, and the bifurcation angle. Flow gradients were calculated as 4 (Vmax)2 Groups were compared by t-tests. A loud peripheral pulmonic stenosis murmur was associated with increased pulmonary artery velocities, with left pulmonary artery velocity the most discriminating variable (1.3 ± 0.29 vs 0.94 ± 0.19 m/s; p ≤ 0.05). Although the peak gradient never exceeded 12 mmHg, there was an increased gradient in the loud murmur group (8.7 ± 2.6 vs 5.7 ± 2.2 mmHg; p ≤ 0.05) which may even be underestimated by the lack of angle correction. The left pulmonary artery diameter was also larger in the loud murmur group, but there were no other anatomic or volumetric flow differences between groups. The soft murmur group could not be separated from normals. We conclude that Doppler techniques can confirm the physiologic basis of peripheral pulmonic stenosis murmurs.

Lipoblastoma of the hand is a rare benign tumour of infancy. Although benign, the tumour can present as a large mass. We present a case of a two-year-old female with a large, slowly growing soft tissue mass between the second and third metacarpal of the right hand. After excision of the mass, the deep transverse metacarpal ligament (DTML) was reconstructed using a free tendon graft from the extensor indicis propius (EIP).

Right ventricular myxoma is very rare, especially its originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and extending to the main pulmonary artery. Here, we report a case of a giant RVOT myxoma, indistinguishable from pulmonary embolism (PE). Although the myxoma is a candidate for urgent surgery, this case satisfied diagnostic criteria for PE and had no indication for intervention, according to the guideline. The strategy for this mass can be completely different, depending on the diagnosis. Surgical extraction was selected because of atypical clinical course, findings, and nagging debut for neoplasm. Then it made hemodynamic status stable by releasing RVOT obstruction and allowed to reveal the diagnosis as myxoma histopathologically.

AbstractValved bovine jugular vein conduit is considered a suitable choice for paediatric population with congenital heart defect requiring right ventricle to main pulmonary artery connection. However, complications related to the use of this device have been reported, with conduit failure occurring mainly as a consequence of stenosis, conduit thrombosis, and valve regurgitation. We present a case of aneurysmal conduit failure of a valved bovine jugular vein conduit used to reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract.
