Mediastinal hibernoma, a rare tumor [Case Report]
Ahn, C; Harvey, J C
Hibernoma is an uncommon soft tissue tumor that is derived from the remnants of fetal brown fat. Review of the world medical literature revealed 90 cases, 6 of which were intrathoracic. We present the seventh case of intrathoracic hibernoma; in this case, the hibernoma was within the mediastinum without direct invasion of other structures.

Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus: a survival study
Harvey, J C; Kagan, A R; Ahn, C; Frankl, H; Davidson, W
A 35 year review of adenocarcinomas of the esophagus was undertaken. We found the disease to be one of increasing incidence afflicting white males disproportionately. Risk factors remain to be clarified. Radiation therapy in curative doses and complete resection were competitively effective in terms of long-term survival. No survival advantage was found with palliative surgery compared with other means of therapy. Optimal combinations of treatment remain to be discovered.
