Description
Forhad Ullah and co-authors report three cases of a rare tumor surgery in this 2024 paper. The tumors are mediastinal paragangliomas, a type of neuroendocrine tumor. These three grew into the space between the aorta and the lung artery. That spot sits close to vital heart structures, so removal is hard.
All three patients were women. Diagnosis used blood and urine tests, scans, ultrasound, and biopsy. Each tumor was removed with the help of cardiopulmonary bypass, which takes over heart and lung work during surgery. Removal was complete in all three cases. Long term follow up found no return of the tumor. The cases support bypass as a useful tool for this surgery.
