Perforation of the esophagus, with any of its possible consequences, consetitutes an emergeny. We are reporting one case of transhiatal esophagectomy with esophagogastrostomy. The cause of esophageal perforation was baloon dilatation with underlying stricture. We recognized immediately intrathoracic perforation through routin check of Chest PA and confrormed dye leakage through esophagogram. She underwent emergency operation.

Abnormally located liver tissue has been described in the vicinity of the liver proper, near anatomical structures such as the gallbladder, the umbilical fossa, the adrenal gland, the pancreas, and the spleen. Supradiaphragmatic ectopic liver is a rare finding, but has been reported to have been found in the intrathoracic cavity and in the pericardium. In the majority of supradiaphragmatic ectopic liver cases, there was an accompanying transdiaphragmatic pedicle of the main liver body into the abdominal cavity. In a minority of supradiaphramatic ectopic liver cases, the liver was completely separated from the abdominal cavity without a connection between the thorax and the abdomen, with accompanying diaphragmatic anomalies. We describe one case of intrathoracic ectopic liver in a patient with a previous history of lower chest wall trauma, and a brief review of the English-language medical literature on this topic.

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma from a cancer of unknown primary (CUP) affecting the intrathoracic lymph node is very rare. We reported a case of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in the hilar and interlobar lymph node from a patient with CUP and reviewed the associated literature. Abnormal mass in the right hilar area was incidentally detected. A chest computed tomography scan showed a 2.5-cm diameter mass in the right hilum that had changed little in size for 3 years. The patient underwent a right pneumonectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection. A metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in the hilar and interlobar lymph nodes without a primary lung or other lesion was diagnosed. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy for a diagnosis of T0N1M0 lung cancer.

We report our experience with 2 cases of perforation of intrathoracic stomach after Ivor Lewis operation for esophageal cancer. There was no problem in the anastomotic site, but the drainage from pleural cavity increased after oral intake. The stomach perforation was proved by rethoracotomy. The perforation site was repaired by sutures with pedicled intercostal muscle.

This case report presents 2 patients with gastroesophageal junction cancer who both underwent totally minimally invasive esophagectomy with colon interposition. Patients 1 and 2, who were 43-year-old and 78-year-old men, respectively, had distinct clinical presentations and medical histories. Patient 1 underwent minimally invasive robotic esophagectomy with a laparoscopic total gastrectomy, colonic conduit preparation, and intrathoracic esophago-colono-jejunostomy. Patient 2 underwent completely robotic total gastrectomy, colon conduit preparation, and intrathoracic esophago-colono-jejunostomy. The primary challenge in colon interposition is assessing colon vascularity and ensuring an adequate conduit length, which is critical for successful anastomosis. In both cases, we used indocyanine green fluorescence angiography to evaluate vascularity. Determining the appropriate conduit is challenging; therefore, it is crucial to ensure a slightly longer conduit during reconstruction. Because totally minimally invasive colon interposition can reduce postoperative pain and enhance recovery, this surgical technique is feasible and beneficial.

Cystic intrathoracic lesions of foregut origin are now well recognized and account for approximately 10% of lesions presenting as mediastinal tumors. The terminology used to describe mediastinal endodermal cysts has been confused and sometimes ambiguous. The embryological derivation of these lesions has been the cause of much speculation. It Is suggested that these lesions should be classified Into three main categories based on embryology bronchogenic cyst[resulting from a defect of lung budding], Intramural esophageal cyst[true duplication], and enteric cyst[resulting from the split notochord syndrome]. This communication describes a 26 year old man with intramural esophageal cyst who was diagnosed as posterior medlastlnai tumor preoperatively and cured with extirpation of the cyst.

In this study. we studied the efficacy of CT scan in the diagnosis of the thyroid nodules. CT scan was useful in the identification of nodal metastasis. extracapsular spread and intrathoracic extension. and multiple cystic degeneration or calcification on CT scan suggested a high possibility of thyroid malignancy.

Three neonates with congenital diaphragmatic eventration underwent intrathoracic operation had marked improvements in symptoms postoperatively. Two were one day of ages, one was 1 month of age, and they were all female and had other congenital abnormalities of lung hypoplasia, cleft palate, nasal polyps and neonatal hepatitis. The right diaphragm was more affected than left as 2:1. The repair for diaphragmatic eventration was performed successfully by plication of remnant diaphragm, and there were no complications postoperatively.

Intrathoracic teratoma is mainly found on the anterior mediastinum. For teratoma of the pleura, one case was described. We have presented what we believe to be the first report of a teraroma of the pleura, which was mainly composed of neuroglial cells and was accompanied with lymph node metastasis.
