“…Lymphocytes were double positive for CD4 and CD8, supporting the diagnosis of thymoma (Lara-Garcia et al, 2008). Recently, transformation into carcinoma has been reported (Levien et al, 2010). 4-29), but because of their localized and often encapsulated appearance, surgical excision is recommended.…”

“…In this study, branchial cysts (n=6) were detected on the lateral aspect and the cervical and mediastinal regions of the neck. In dogs, both thymic and mediastinal branchial cysts have frequently been reported, mainly affecting the lungs, with risks of developing tumors and metastasis [ 11 , 19 , 29 ].…”

This study describes the clinical and ultrasonographic features of superficial swellings in dromedary camels ( Camelus dromedarius ) and evaluates the role of ultrasonography (US) in diagnosing and surgical planning or making treatment decisions for such swellings. One hundred and twenty-three camels of both sexes were included in this study based on the clinical and US evidence of superficial swellings varying in type, stage, content, and site. Clinical and US evaluation of these superficial swellings resulted in diagnoses of abscess (30.08%), hernia (26.83%), cyst (16.26%), tumor (13.01%), hematoma (6.50%), bursitis (3.25%), aneurysm (2.44%), and grade III muscle strain (1.63%). US yielded a higher sensitivity (91–100%) and specificity (97–100%) than clinical examination (75–91%) in differentiating the superficial swellings. The highest specificity value for US in evaluating the swellings was 100% for hernias, cysts, and tumors, while the lowest specificity values were recorded for hematomas (97%), followed by aneurysms (98%). In conclusion, US is a reliable and accurate tool providing rapid differential diagnosis, thus enabling treatment options for different superficial swellings in camels when clinical examinations are inconclusive.

“…Bronchogenic cysts are often asymptomatic and found incidentally as a radiographic finding in adults. It is generally difficult to detect when there is no compression, small lesions, and no infection [5,6]. At present, the diagnostic methods for bronchogenic cyst are mainly as follows.…”

Objective: To investigate the difference value of conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (C-TBNA) and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in mediastinal bronchogenic cysts. Method: A retrospective analysis of clinical data and follow-up data of 27 patients using conventional TBNA and EBUS-TBNA techniques diagnosed as mediastinal bronchogenic cysts from May 2008 to December 2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University was done. Results: In 8 years, there were 13 cases of C-TBNA and 14 cases of EBUS-TBNA-diagnosed mediastinal bronchogenic cysts. C-TBNA extracted clear liquid and its volume was 8.9 ± 1.5 ml. The 14 patients examined by EBUS had a homogenous anechoic signal. Clear liquid was extracted, and its volume was 29.1 ± 7.5 ml. The cyst liquid extracted with EBUS-TBNA was significantly more than that extracted with CTBNA (P < 0.05). During follow-up, 1 patient had cyst rupture after being punctured by C-TBNA, secondary pulmonary infection and right pleural effusion, followed by surgical treatment. The recurrence rate for C-TBNA was 100.00% (13/13), and that for EBUS-TBNA was 14.29% (2/14) (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The C-TBNA and EBUS-TBNA technologies have high diagnostic value for the mediastinal bronchogenic cysts. Both C-TBNA and EBUS-TBNA technologies have the risk of secondary infection and recurrence of cysts.
