    Abstract Intramural hematoma (IMH) is included in the spectrum of acute aortic syndrome and appears as an area of hyperattenuating crescentic thickening in the aortic wall that is best seen at nonenhanced computed tomography. IMH is historically believed to originate from ruptured vasa vasorum in the aortic media without an intimal tear, but there are reports of small intimomedial tears identified prospectively at imaging or found at surgery in some cases of IMH. These reports have blurred the distinction between aortic dissection and IMH and raise questions about what truly distinguishes the entities that compose acute aortic syndrome. The pathophysiology of these subgroups and the controversies surrounding their differentiation are discussed. The natural history of IMH is highly variable; it may resolve or progress to aneurysm, dissection, or rupture. The authors review various imaging prognostic factors that should be reported by the radiologist, including Stanford classification, maximum aortic diameter, maximum IMH thickness, focal contrast enhancement (including ulcerlike projection and intramural blood pool), and pleural or pericardial effusion. Medical (nonsurgical) versus surgical treatment strategies depend primarily on the Stanford classification, although more recent studies of Asian cohorts report success of initial medical treatment in patients with Stanford type A IMH, with timed (delayed) surgery for patients who develop complications. Understanding the imaging appearance and prognostic factors of IMH helps the radiologist and surgeon identify patients at greatest risk for complications to ensure appropriate treatment and improve patient outcomes.

    Abstract The two main sources of blood supply to the lungs and their supporting structures are the pulmonary and bronchial arteries. The bronchial arteries account for 1% of the cardiac output but can be recruited to provide additional systemic circulation to the lungs in various acquired and congenital thoracic disorders. An understanding of bronchial artery anatomy and function is important in the identification of bronchial artery dilatation and anomalies and the formulation of an appropriate differential diagnosis. Visualization of dilated bronchial arteries at imaging should alert the radiologist to obstructive disorders that affect the pulmonary circulation and prompt the exclusion of diseases that produce or are associated with pulmonary artery obstruction, including chronic infectious and/or inflammatory processes, chronic thromboembolic disease, and congenital anomalies of the thorax (eg, proximal interruption of the pulmonary artery). Conotruncal abnormalities, such as pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, are associated with systemic pulmonary supply provided by aortic branches known as major aortopulmonary collaterals, which originate in the region of the bronchial arteries. Bronchial artery malformation is a rare left-to-right or left-to-left shunt characterized by an anomalous connection between a bronchial artery and a pulmonary artery or a pulmonary vein, respectively. Bronchial artery interventions can be used successfully in the treatment of hemoptysis, with a low risk of adverse events. Multidetector computed tomography helps provide a vascular road map for the interventional radiologist before bronchial artery embolization.

    Abstract Aortic sarcoma is a rare vascular malignancy. We report a case of primary aortic myxofibrosarcoma mimicking thrombus. This neoplasm demonstrated no contrast enhancement on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging and was clinically suspected to represent a large thrombus, although aortic primary neoplasm was considered in the differential diagnosis on the basis of imaging. Biopsies of the aortic lesion and a concurrent brain lesion were consistent with the diagnosis of aortic myxofibrosarcoma with brain metastasis. This report highlights overlapping imaging features between primary aortic sarcoma and vascular thrombus and the importance of considering neoplastic conditions in the differential diagnosis of large intravascular soft tissue lesions.

    Abstract Division of the mediastinum into specific compartments is beneficial for a number of reasons, including generation of a focused differential diagnosis for mediastinal masses identified on imaging examinations, assistance in planning for biopsies and surgical procedures, and facilitation of communication between clinicians in a multidisciplinary setting. Several classification schemes for the mediastinum have been created and used to varying degrees in clinical practice. Most radiology classifications have been based on arbitrary landmarks outlined on the lateral chest radiograph. A new scheme based on cross-sectional imaging, principally multidetector computed tomography (CT), has been developed by the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group (ITMIG) and accepted as a new standard. This clinical division scheme defines unique prevascular, visceral, and paravertebral compartments based on boundaries delineated by specific anatomic structures at multidetector CT. This new definition plays an important role in identification and characterization of mediastinal abnormalities, which, although uncommon and encompassing a wide variety of entities, can often be diagnosed with confidence based on location and imaging features alone. In other scenarios, a diagnosis may be suggested when radiologic features are combined with specific clinical information. In this article, the authors present the new multidetector CT-based classification of mediastinal compartments introduced by ITMIG and a structured approach to imaging evaluation of mediastinal abnormalities.

    Abstract Gynecologic malignancies are a heterogeneous group of common neoplasms and represent the fourth most common malignancy in women. Thoracic metastases exhibit various imaging patterns and are usually associated with locally invasive primary neoplasms with intra-abdominal spread. However, thoracic involvement may also occur many months to years after initial diagnosis or as an isolated finding in patients without evidence of intra-abdominal neoplastic involvement. Thoracic metastases from endometrial carcinoma typically manifest as pulmonary nodules and lymphadenopathy. Thoracic metastases from ovarian cancer often manifest with small pleural effusions and subtle pleural nodules. Thoracic metastases to the lungs, lymph nodes, and pleura may also exhibit calcification and mimic granulomatous disease. Metastases from fallopian tube carcinomas exhibit imaging features identical to those of ovarian cancers. Most cervical cancers are of squamous histology, and while solid pulmonary metastases are more common, cavitary metastases occur with some frequency. Metastatic choriocarcinoma to the lung characteristically manifests with solid pulmonary nodules. Some pulmonary metastases from gynecologic malignancies exhibit characteristic features such as cavitation (in squamous cell cervical cancer) and the "halo" sign (in hemorrhagic metastatic choriocarcinoma) at computed tomography (CT). However, metastases from common gynecologic malignancies may be subtle and indolent and may mimic benign conditions such as intrapulmonary lymph nodes and remote granulomatous disease. Therefore, radiologists should consider the presence of locoregional disease as well as elevated tumor marker levels when interpreting imaging studies because subtle imaging findings may represent metastatic disease. Positron emission tomography/CT may be helpful in identifying early locoregional and distant tumor spread.

    Abstract Thymic epithelial neoplasms are rare malignancies that arise from the thymus and include thymoma, thymic carcinoma, and thymic neuroendocrine tumors. At least 15 different stage classifications have been proposed for thymic epithelial neoplasms and used to varying degrees in clinical practice, many of which have been constructed from small groups of patients. Traditionally, the Masaoka and Masaoka-Koga staging systems have been the schemes most commonly employed, and the latter has been recommended for use by the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group (ITMIG). An official, consistent stage classification system has recently been recognized by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), which are responsible for defining stage classifications for neoplasms. To establish this stage classification system, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) and ITMIG amassed a large retrospective database and evaluated this group of cases to develop proposals for the eighth edition of the stage classification manuals. For this endeavor, IASLC provided funding and statistical analysis and ITMIG provided the involvement of the clinicians and researchers actively participating in the study of thymic epithelial neoplasms. To accomplish this, a Thymic Domain of the Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee (TD-SPFC) was established to formulate the rationale, methodology, and definitions of this tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system, which is presented in this article.
