Acute Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening disease and is considered the third major cause of cardiovascular death with higher incidence and mortality rates. Identifying a saddle PE between the left and the right pulmonary trunk in transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is rare, and helps to make a rapid diagnosis to avoid complications. Clinical presentation, electrocardiogram, and X-ray guide the diagnosis but are not specific. TTE is helpful and confirms the diagnosis especially when the CT is not available or in other situations when it is not realizable. Visualizing a pulmonary artery thrombus in TTE is unusual. It can be identified in the right cardiac chambers in less than 5% of patients with PE. The severity of acute PE is determined by its hemodynamics, the sudden pulmonary hypertension, and the development of obstructive shock. Anticoagulation therapy is the cornerstone of PE management and should be initiated as soon as possible.
急性肺栓塞（PE）是一种危及生命的疾病，被认为是心血管疾病的第三大死因，发病率和死亡率均较高。在经胸超声心动图（TTE）中发现左肺主干和右肺主干之间的鞍状肺栓塞非常罕见，有助于快速诊断，避免并发症。临床表现、心电图和 X 光检查可指导诊断，但不具有特异性。TTE 有助于确诊，尤其是在 CT 无法使用或其他无法实现 CT 的情况下。在 TTE 中看到肺动脉血栓并不常见。只有不到 5%的 PE 患者能在右心腔发现肺动脉血栓。急性 PE 的严重程度取决于其血液动力学、突发性肺动脉高压和阻塞性休克的发展。抗凝治疗是 PE 治疗的基石，应尽快开始。

Thyroglossal tract cyst carcinoma (TTCC) is a rare pathological situation, The challenge is mainly in the surgical management. In this article, we report a new case of papillary TTCC in a 51 years old female patient, not suspected preoperatively and confirmed postoperatively by histological analysis of the resected specimen. The therapeutic strategy was completed by a total thyroidectomy with adjuvant treatment with radioactive iodine and hormone restraint therapy. The outcome was favorable after 7 years of follow-up. In the absence of clear guidelines, the management of TTCC depends on the clinical situation and the experience of the treating team.

Uterine rupture is a disruption of the uterine scar, causing foetal expulsion into the peritoneal cavity. This condition, primarily caused by the separation of uterine scar tissue from previous caesarean surgery, reduces foetal survival and increases maternal morbidity and mortality. A 32-year-old woman with a history of four vaginal deliveries and one caesarean section was diagnosed with uterine rupture, leading to a laparotomy procedure and obstetric hysterectomy. Consistent antenatal care can prevent uterine rupture.

Lymphoma is a malignant proliferation of lymphoid tissue cells. We report a case of multi-focal lymphoma of lymph node, pharyngeal, cardiac and splenic sites. This was a 19-year-old patient received in February 2023, at the radiology and medical imaging department of the Mother and Child University Hospital Center ''Luxembourg'' as part of the CT exploration of a lateral mass. -left cervical. On admission, the clinical examination found a patient with an altered general condition, moderately colored conjunctiva, normal blood pressure and temperature. Examination of the lymph node areas revealed a left latero-cervical swelling, and fixed bilateral axillary swellings, of firm consistency and irregular contours. Palpation revealed hepatosplenomegaly. Cardiopulmonary auscultation was normal. A cervico-thoraco-abdominal CT scan revealed irregular thickening of the left lateral wall of the oropharynx, a hypodense tissue mass in the right cardiac chambers, heterogeneous splenomegaly, cervical, mediastinal, axillary and abdominal ADP. The histological examination carried out after lymph node biopsy revealed a histological appearance of small cell lymphoma. Conclusion: Lymphoma is a very common malignant tumor that can occur at any age. This tumor can affect all organs, however its cardiac location is rare. The positive diagnosis remains histological. Imaging plays an important role in the initial assessment, extension and surveillance.
