Traumatic esophageal injuries are extremely rare and challenging both from a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. As regards one of their patients, the authors review the etiology and the pathophysiology of esophageal perforations. They present the case of a 36-year-old patient with a penetrating chest trauma. During an acute surgery, the foreign body was removed from the mediastinum, but in the early postoperative period, an oesophageal rupture was recognized. After conservative management, the patient was discharged from the hospital without any complications 82 days after the injury. Considering that the traumatic esophageal rupture is rare and the mortality of these patients is very high, it is important to make a good decision in time. The authors would like to highlight that even in the case of severe penetrating esophageal injury, the right therapeutical decision can lead to complete recovery. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(43): 1719-1724.

Castleman disease is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder, located most commonly in the mediastinal lymph nodes. The intrapulmonary presentation is extremely rare, with 14 published cases in the English literature. The clinical presentation of the disorder is not specific and the diagnosis is often challenging. The main goal is to achieve an R0 surgical resection which gives the potential chance for a recurrence-free survival. We present the case of a symptomless, 15-year-old female patient with left-sided tumor mass. Transthoracal invasive tissue biopsy confirmed Castleman disease. The central mass involved the main structures in the left hilus and therefore left pulmonectomy was necessary to reach the complete, tumor-free resection margins. The patient had no local or distant relapse during the 7-year follow-up. Although Castleman disease treated by complete surgical resection provides excellent results, radical and extended lung resection is sometimes inevitable to reach tumor-free margins.
