“…A number of mediastinal SFTs had also contact to the epicardium [ 122 ], and in such cases, it may be questionable whether these represent true primary mediastinal SFT [ 123 – 125 ]. Thoracic SFTs reach a large size and may extend to the chest wall, protrude in the lung or even invade other structures [ 124 ]. SFTs occur over a wide age range but are typically seen in older adults [ 126 – 128 ].…”

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.

“…Characteristically, these tumors are seen as an oblong-shaped mass in the craniocaudal direction, with calcification, a whorled appearance, tailed-like extension, and a fat component [9]. MRI images are useful not only for diagnosing the tumor, but also for establishing if there is invasion of the surrounding organs [10].…”

Pedunculated solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura manifesting as a migrating chest mass: report of a case

et al. 2011

We report the case of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura, which appeared to change its location. A computed tomography (CT) scan done at a previous hospital showed a tumor in the posterior mediastinum, suggesting that it was neurogenic. However, on the initial preoperative CT scan, the tumor seemed to have moved anteriorly, but when contrast material was injected; the tumor appeared in its original position. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) revealed a pedunculated and free-moving tumor, originating from the visceral pleura. We diagnosed this unusual migrating tumor as a pedunculated solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura.

“…Great care must be taken during dissection as the damage of vital structures can induce fatal cardiopulmonary complications. As reported in our previous report, partially resection of the infiltrate pericardium or diaphragm is safe and helpful for dissection [7]. We routinely set up the venous conduit bypass between the right/left jugular vein and right/left femoral vein before SVC replacement to preventing from high venous pressure when SVC clamped [8].…”

BackgroundMature teratomas are the most common histological type of germ cell tumors.Case PresentationA 14-year-old boy was referred to our hospital with a giant mature teratoma occupying the entire right hemithorax compressed the superior vena cava (SVC) and total atelectasis of the right lung. He was misdiagnosed as malignant teratoma by a fine-needle biopsy in a hospital. After 4-cycle of chemotherapy without effect, he underwent an unsuccessful exploratory thoracotomy. Venous conduit bypass between the right jugular vein and right femoral vein was established in the operating room for superior vena cava (SVC) replacement if needed. En bloc resection of the huge tumor, wedge resection of the dense adhesions of the right lung and partial pericardectomy were successfully performed, and lung function was recovered.ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of complete resection of the teratoma occupying the whole right hemithorax combined with wedge resection of the right upper, middle and lower lobes and partial resection of the pericardium.
