Chest wall echinococcosis.

The chest wall is an uncommon localization for hydatid cyst. In this article, six patients were operated on because of chest wall hydatid cysts between the years 1989 to 1991 have been reported. Four of them had previously undergone surgery for pulmonary or hepatic hydatidosis; the chest wall was the primary site in two patients. Operative procedures for chest wall echinococcosis were cystectomy (four patients), cystotomy and evacuation (one patient), and chest wall resection (one patient). There was no mortality. Mean follow-up was 26 months (range, 14 to 36 months). No recurrence has occurred yet.

Aneurysms of aberrant right subclavian artery: a rare cause of the superior vena cava syndrome.

Aneurysms of an aberrant right subclavian artery are very rare. Since 1956, only 36 cases have been reported in the literature. 2 cases of aneurysms of an aberrant right subclavian artery are presented. The patients were admitted with the symptoms of a superior vena cava syndrome. During the radiographic examination, the presence of superior mediastinal masses was noticed. The aneurysms were resected successfully. The clinical presentation, surgical management and prognosis of our two cases of aneurysms of an aberrant right subclavian artery are reported, and a review of the literature is added.
