[HSF] Image of the week Mediastinal Thymolipoma-OT

[Prasanna Simha M]

I was worried that manipulation may result in cardiac decompensation so I
asked the perfusionists to hang around. Luckily the patient did not have
major hemodynamic perturburations except at one point when I had to go
around dissecting the tumour off the left hilum (It had wrapped around it.
The smallest blob of the mass that you see had coursed around the superior
aspect of the hilum and had grown behind it pushing with it a fold of
pleura. I could not keep the left pleura intact due to this herniation.
