Venous hemangioma of the anterior mediastinum.
(52/107)
We report a rare case of venous hemangioma (VH) of the anterior mediastinum in a 56-year-old man admitted to our hospital because of hematemesis. Systemic examinations were performed and chest computer tomography (CT) revealed a 1.5-cm sized small nodule with contrast enhancement in the thymus. Both CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested a solid tumor such as a thymoma or neurogenic tumor rather than a vascular neoplasm. A partial thymectomy including this nodule by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) was performed. Histological examination showed VH. There was no recurrence with no further treatment. (+info)

Splenic mass and isolated gastric varices: a rare presentation of a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas.
(54/107)
CONTEXT: Splenic involvement in neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors is well known but rarely presents as a primary splenic mass. CASE REPORT: A rare case of a neuroendocrine tumor involving the tail of the pancreas, splenic hilum and splenic flexure of the colon, forming a conglomerate mass and presenting as isolated gastric varices is described. A 75-year-old male presented with hematemesis and melena. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed isolated gastric varices. A CT scan revealed a mass predominantly involving the spleen and a small part of the pancreas. CONCLUSION: A splenic mass with isolated gastric varices should be kept in mind as one of the presentations of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. (+info)
