Imaging of invasive thymoma in the costophrenic recess presenting as thickening of arcuate ligaments of the diaphragm.

Coakley FV1, Grant MJ2, Behr S3, Foster BR2, Korngold EK2, Didier RA2.Author information 1Oregon Health and Sciences University. Electronic address: coakleyf@ohsu.edu.2Oregon Health and Sciences University.3University of California San Francisco.AbstractImaging findings in a patient with invasive thymoma in the costophrenic recess are presented, in whom computed tomography (CT) and MRI revealed lateral arcuate ligament thickening. Increased fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) uptake on subsequent positron emission tomography (PET)/CT was helpful in suggesting the correct diagnosis. A second patient with much more obvious invasive thymoma occurring in the costophrenic recess is presented for comparison. It is a well-known fact that thymic malignancies can metastasize to the pleura even years after resection. Rarely, they may present as focal thickening of the diaphragmatic lateral arcuate ligament.

"Dry" Pleural Mesothelioma Successfully Diagnosed on Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (TBNA).

Lococo F1, Rossi G, Agostini L, Filice A, Paci M, Rapicetta C, Ricchetti T, Tenconi S, Piro R, Sgarbi G.Author information 1Unit of Thoracic Surgery, IRCCS-Arcispedale Santa Maria Nuova, Italy.AbstractThe acquisition of histologic material is obligatory in order to establish the diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). In particular, tissue acquisition in cases of "dry" MPM (focal pleural thickening without pleural effusion or mediastinal lymph node involvement) is usually performed via a thoracoscopic pleural biopsy. In contrast, the techniques for performing echoendoscopic (transbronchial or transesophageal) needle aspiration of pleural lesions have only rarely been reported due to the theoretical limitations of tissue acquisition in such cases. We herein report the first case of "dry" MPM successfully diagnosed via endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in a 73-year-old man presenting with a pleural mass in the right costovertebral recess, adjacent to the carina. The patient underwent radical resection, and a definitive pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of epithelioid MPM.
