“…Anatomopathological examination of the excised cirrhotic liver demonstrated macro-and micronodular biliary type cirrhosis with severe ductopenia and acute suppurative cholangitis, with ductal ulceration, but no malignant lesions. 1, venous cannula in the superior vena cava (2), cannula of antegrade cardioplegia (3), a cannula for vent aspiration in the main pulmonary artery (4), which has been clamped with a loop, and the balloon guide wire of the endoluminal occlusion of the inferior vena cava (5). Right: Access to the right pulmonary artery (*) between the aorta and the superior vena cava for the realization of right pulmonary thromboendarterectomy.…”

“…There is a higher recurrence rate in patients who do not receive chemotherapy even if they undergo a complete resection. [2][3][4][5] Cardiac metastases are found in from 10% to 25% of patients who died with these malignancies. There are four pathways by which metastases may reach the heart: through lymphatic or hematogeneous spread and by direct or transvenous extension.…”

“…Cardiac intracavitary metastases are infrequent. 5 Surgical resection of tumor extending into the inferior vena cava has been reported and studied more extensively in relation to renal tumors, due to its etiological frequency and prognostic importance. Pulmonary artery thromboendarterectomy is described using circulatory arrest and hypothermia under cardiopulmonary bypass.…”

Thorough study is required to decide the appropriate management of hepatic tumors in children. We present a case report of a hepatic embryonal undifferentiated sarcoma with unfavorable prognosis in a nine-year-old girl. After undergoing a detailed cancer characteristics and extension study, a two-stage surgery approach was decided. The hepatic tumor resection was the first procedure to be performed. One week later, under cardiopulmonary bypass, deep hypothermia, and circulatory arrest, thrombectomy of the inferior vena cava and right atrium was accomplished, plus thromboendarterectomy of the right pulmonary artery. During a four-year follow-up, the patient continues to be disease-free.

“…Most of the lesions are distributed around the lung. Laboratory and imaging examinations show no characteristic manifestations in the early stage of the disease, resulting in a high rate of misdiagnoses as pneumonia, tuberculosis, among other diseases in terms of symptoms and imaging manifestations at the first diagnosis [6][7][8].…”

Objective. We aim to develop a deep neural network model to differentiate pneumonia-type lung carcinoma from pneumonia based on chest CT scanning and evaluate its performance. Materials and Methods. We retrospectively analyzed 131 patients diagnosed with pneumonia-type lung carcinoma and 171 patients with pneumonia treated in Beijing Hospital from October 2019 to February 2021. The average age was 68 (±15) years old, and the proportion of men (162/302) was slightly more than that of women (140/302). In this study, a deep learning based model UNet was applied to extract lesion areas from chest CT images. Lesion areas were extracted and classified by a designed spatial attention mechanism network. The model AUC and diagnostic accuracy were analyzed based on the results of the model. We analyzed the accuracy rate, sensitivity, and specificity and compared the results of the model to the junior and senior radiologists and radiologists based on the model. Results. The model has a good efficiency in detecting pneumonia-like lesions (6.31 seconds/case). The model accuracy rate, sensitivity, and specificity were 74.20%, 60.37%, and 89.36%, respectively. The junior radiologist’s accuracy rate, sensitivity, and specificity were 61.00%, 48.08%, and 75.00%, respectively. The senior radiologist’s accuracy rate, sensitivity, and specificity were 65.00%, 51.92%, and 79.17%, respectively. The results of junior radiologists based on the model were improved (76.00% for accuracy rate, 62.75% for sensitivity, and 89.80% for specificity). The results of senior radiologists based on the model were also improved (78.00% for accuracy rate, 64.71% for sensitivity, and 91.84% for specificity) and the diagnostic accuracy of which was statistically higher than other groups P < 0.05 . Based on the lesion texture diversity and the lesion boundary ambiguity, the algorithm produced false-positive samples (13.51%). Conclusion. This deep learning model could detect pneumonia-type lung carcinoma and differentiate it from pneumonia accurately and efficiently.
