Massive immature mediastinal teratoma extending into the left pleural cavity.

We report a case of a massive mediastinal teratoma in an 18-year-old woman who presented with a short history of exertional dyspnoea. The tumor arose from the left lobe of the thymus and extended into the left pleural cavity, completely compressing the left lung and extensively shifting the mediastinum to the right. Measuring 23 cm x 17 cm x 9 cm and weighing 2005 g it is one of the largest anterior mediastinal teratomas reported. It was successfully treated by surgical resection, with a final pathological diagnosis of a grades 1-2 immature teratoma.

Aortic arch reconstruction using a trifurcated graft.

Cerebral protection and prevention of atheroembolism remain challenges in aortic arch reconstruction. To reduce neurologic complications, we developed a "no-touch" technique in which a trifurcated graft is anastomosed to the arch vessels during hypothermic circulatory arrest, reducing the risk of embolization while minimizing cerebral ischemia by permitting antegrade cerebral perfusion as arch reconstruction is completed.
