Vascular ring, caused by Kommerell's diverticulum and ligamentum arteriosum, in a patient with right aortic arch and mirror image branching is extremely rare. A 10-month-old boy with coughing and stridor was diagnosed as having tracheo-esophageal stenosis, which is caused by a vascular ring with Kommerell's diverticulum, ligamentum arteriosum, right aortic arch, and mirror image branching. Kommerell's diverticulum was successfully resected via a left thoracotomy. The patient has been free from tracheo-esophageal stenosis for a year after the surgery.

Paratesticular liposarcoma is a very rare tumor that is typically reported as isolated cases of or as components of larger studies of liposarcomas. Image findings are similar to those of other anatomic sites, but in less-common sites, their appearance may be less familiar, and they may be mistaken for other pathologies. In addition, atypical image findings of liposarcoma make diagnosis more difficult. Herein, we report on the case of a 45-year-old male patient who presented with a painless, palpable mass in the right scrotum. The patient was diagnosed with paratesticular liposarcoma by excisional biopsy.

Massive gastric mucosal ruptures during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with esophageal hiatal hernias are rare. However, tearing of the gastric mucosa alone, without tearing of the gastroesophageal junction, is even rarer. This study reports a case of a large mucosal rupture that occurred on the posterior wall of the upper body of the stomach during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in an 83-year-old woman with an esophageal hiatal hernia while sedated. The patient was treated with endoclips for the rupture.
