Preoperative assessment of thymoma: evaluation of mediastinal arterial anatomy by cardiac multidetector computed tomography.

abstract：:Zygomycosis is a life-threatening fungal infection, and its successful treatment requires early diagnosis. To establish radiologic and clinical criteria for early diagnosis, we reviewed 3 post-mortem cases with zygomycosis secondary to hematological diseases. In all cases, an irregular dilatation of pulmonary veins on...
