Diagnosis

Primary Diagnosis:

Anterior Mediastinal Mass - Teratoma

Mrs. Roshani Sen presented with a 1-year history of anterior neck swelling.
Investigations confirmed an anterior mediastinal mass, which was suspected to be a teratoma (a type of germ cell tumour containing multiple tissue types, commonly found in the mediastinum in young women).
Pre-auth clinical notes describe the procedure as "Space-Occupying Lesion (SOL) mediastinum" under the CTVS cluster, procedure code SV027A.

Surgical Procedure

Operation: Anterior Mediastinal Mass Excision (Teratoma Excision)

Date of Surgery: 16 June 2026 (approximately - based on Post-Op Day notations starting 17 June)
Performed by: Dr. Sagar Sahita (CTVS Surgeon)
Surgery details (from anaesthesia record): "Mediastinal mass excision"
Patient was intubated (ET tube size 7.5) and placed under general anaesthesia
An ICD (Intercostal Chest Drain) was inserted post-operatively (right side)
Femoral CVC line was placed
Patient was extubated at approximately 3:30 PM on the day of surgery
Post-operative ICU monitoring was carried out (CICU - Cardiac ICU)

Intraoperative details (from anaesthesia form):

ABG readings during surgery were documented
Blood products ordered pre-op: packed cells, FFP (blood type O+)
Haemoglobin pre-op: ~5.7 g/dL (suggesting significant anaemia pre-operatively; blood transfusion was likely needed)

Pre-operative Workup (from admission notes & OPD prescription)

Investigations ordered:

CBC, CRP, PCT (infection/inflammation markers)
RFT, TFT (Renal function & Thyroid function tests)
TSH (thyroid, to rule out thyroid origin of mass)
NT-proBNP (cardiac function)
Urine analysis
Blood group and crossmatch
ABG (Arterial Blood Gas)
CT scan chest (already done - showed anterior mediastinal mass)
Echo (requested to assess cardiac involvement)
PT, APTT (coagulation profile for surgery)

Summary in Plain Terms

A 26-year-old woman (Mrs. Roshani Sen) was admitted to the Cardiothoracic Surgery unit at Parul Sevashram Hospital, Vadodara, with a 1-year history of a swelling in her anterior neck/chest. Investigations revealed an anterior mediastinal mass - most likely a teratoma (a benign or malignant tumour made up of different tissue types, common in young women at this location). She underwent surgical removal (excision) of the mass on 16 June 2026 under general anaesthesia by the CTVS surgical team. She was admitted to the cardiac ICU post-operatively with a chest drain in situ, was extubated the same day, and recovered over the following days. Blood investigations, ABG monitoring, nursing care, and pain management were all documented. The excised tissue was sent for histopathology to confirm the diagnosis. The patient was covered under the Ayushman Bharat government health insurance scheme. The total file is 169 pages of standardised hospital forms, all linked to this single inpatient admission.

Lab Reports - Full Explanation

Patient: Mrs. Roshani Sen | 26-year-old Female | UHID: PSH-677845 Hospital: Parul Sevashram Hospital, Vadodara (ISO 15189:2022 Accredited Laboratory) Referring Doctor: Dr. Dipesh D. Duttaroy

The reports span from admission (9 June 2026) through the post-operative ICU period (17-19 June 2026), concluding with the histopathology report (22 June 2026). Here is a test-by-test breakdown:

BATCH 1 - Admission Workup (9 June 2026)

1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Parameter	Result	Reference	Interpretation
Haemoglobin	11.7 g/dL ⬇	12.0-15.0	Mildly low - mild anaemia
RBC Count	4.20 million/µL ⬇	4.5-5.5	Low
Haematocrit (HCT)	36.1% ⬇	40-54%	Low
MCV	86.0 fL	83-101	Normal - normocytic anaemia
MCH	27.9 pg	27-32	Normal
MCHC	32.4 g/dL	31.5-34.5	Normal
WBC	5710/µL	4000-10000	Normal
Neutrophils	60%	50-62%	Normal
Lymphocytes	32.2%	20-40%	Normal
Platelets	278,000/µL	150,000-450,000	Normal

Summary: She has mild normocytic anaemia on admission. No infection signal (WBC and differential normal). Likely anaemia of chronic disease from the mediastinal mass.

2. C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

Test	Result	Reference
CRP	1.64 mg/L	<5.0 mg/L ✅

Normal. No significant systemic inflammation at the time of admission. The mediastinal mass was not causing active inflammation/infection at this stage.

3. Thyroid Function Test (TFT)

Test	Result	Reference
TSH	1.920 µIU/mL	0.589-6.880 ✅

Normal thyroid function. This was checked to rule out a thyroid origin of the anterior neck/mediastinal mass (e.g., substernal goitre). TSH being normal and the CT scan appearance pointed away from a thyroid lesion.

4. NT-proBNP (Heart Failure Marker)

Test	Result	Reference
NT-proBNP	38.8 pg/mL	<300 pg/mL ✅

Normal. Rules out heart failure or significant cardiac compression by the mediastinal mass. Important pre-op check given the mass was sitting near the heart.

5. Procalcitonin (PCT)

Test	Result	Reference
PCT	0.05 ng/mL	0-0.5 ✅

Normal. No evidence of bacterial sepsis or serious infection.

6. High-Sensitive Troponin I (Cardiac Troponin)

Test	Result	Reference
Troponin I (hs)	<1.5 ng/L	0-19 ng/L ✅

Normal. No cardiac muscle injury. Rules out myocardial involvement from the mediastinal mass.

7. Infectious Disease Screening

Test	Result	Interpretation
HBsAg	0.14 s/CO (Negative)	No Hepatitis B ✅
Anti-HCV	0.020 s/CO (Non-Reactive)	No Hepatitis C ✅
HIV 1 & 2	Non-Reactive (all 3 tests)	HIV Negative ✅

All three pre-operative mandatory infectious disease screens are negative - standard requirement before any surgery.

8. Kidney Function Test (KFT)

Parameter	Result	Reference
Serum Creatinine	0.6 mg/dL	0.52-1.04 ✅
eGFR	120.8 mL/min	≥90 (Stage 1) ✅
Serum Urea	24.90 mg/dL	15.0-36.3 ✅
BUN	11.64 mg/dL	8-23 ✅
Uric Acid	3.8 mg/dL	2.5-6.2 ✅

Normal kidney function. Safe for surgery and anaesthesia drug clearance.

9. Coagulation Profile - APTT & PT/INR (9 June 2026)

Test	Result	Reference
APTT	32.8 sec	22.7-35.0 ✅
APTT Control	31.0 sec
PT (Patient)	12.8 sec	9.39-12.91 ✅
INR	1.13 ⬆ (slightly)	0.8-1.1

APTT is normal. INR is mildly elevated at 1.13 (just above the upper limit of 1.1). This is a borderline finding suggesting a very mild tendency toward slower clotting, possibly related to nutritional status or early anaemia. The surgical team would have noted this but it is not a contraindication to surgery at this level.

BATCH 2 - Pre-Operative Repeat Workup (13 June 2026)

A second set of tests was run 4 days after admission (just before surgery on 16 June).

10. CBC (13 June)

Parameter	Result	Change from Admission
Haemoglobin	11.9 g/dL ⬇	Slightly improved (+0.2)
RBC	4.28 million ⬇	Similar
Platelets	290,000	Normal
WBC	5340	Normal

Anaemia persisted, essentially unchanged. Blood transfusion was ordered prior to surgery (as seen in the hospital records).

11. HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin)

Test	Result	Interpretation
HbA1c	4.8%	Non-diabetic ✅ (<5.7%)
Mean 3-month glucose (estimated)	~91 mg/dL	Normal

No diabetes. Checked because intraoperative blood glucose tends to rise under anaesthetic stress; knowing she is non-diabetic helps manage this.

12. CRP & TSH repeat (13 June)

Test	Result	Change
CRP	1.58 mg/L	Stable (still normal)
TSH	1.550 µIU/mL	Normal (slightly lower, still normal)

Both unchanged and within normal limits.

13. NT-proBNP, PCT, Troponin (13 June)

Test	Result
NT-proBNP	44.1 pg/mL ✅ (slightly higher, still normal)
PCT	0.01 ng/mL ✅
Troponin I	<1.5 ng/L ✅

All remain normal. No cardiac strain, no infection.

14. Electrolytes (13 June)

Test	Result	Reference
Sodium (Na+)	135.2 mmol/L ⬇	137-145 (just below normal)
Potassium (K+)	4.30 mmol/L ✅	3.5-5.1
Chloride (Cl-)	108.00 mmol/L ⬆	98-107 (mildly high)

Sodium is mildly low (hyponatraemia), and chloride slightly high. This pattern (low Na, high Cl) can occur with normal saline IV fluids or mild dehydration. Nothing dangerous, but the surgical team would have corrected this before the operation.

15. RPR (Syphilis Screen) - 13 June

Test	Result
RPR	Non-Reactive ✅

No syphilis. Standard pre-op screen.

16. Liver Function Tests (13 June)

Parameter	Result	Reference
Total Bilirubin	0.7 mg/dL ✅	0.2-1.3
SGPT (ALT)	14.0 U/L ✅	0-35
SGOT (AST)	19.0 U/L ✅	14-36
ALP	87.0 U/L ✅	44-107
Total Protein	7.10 g/dL ✅	6.3-8.2
Albumin	3.90 g/dL ✅	3.5-5.0

Normal liver function. Liver enzymes and protein levels are healthy. Good nutritional/liver reserve going into surgery.

17. Urine Examination (13 June)

Parameter	Result
Colour	Pale Yellow (normal)
Appearance	Clear
pH	6.0 (normal)
Protein	Absent ✅
Glucose	Absent ✅
Blood	Trace (minimal)
Pus Cells	Occasional ✅
RBCs	2-4 cells/HPF (normal)

Essentially normal urine. The trace blood and occasional cells are within acceptable limits. No urinary tract infection or kidney disease.

18. KFT Repeat (13 June)

Parameter	Result	Change
Creatinine	0.6 mg/dL ✅	Unchanged
eGFR	120.8 mL/min ✅	Normal
BUN/Cr ratio	20.02 ⬆	Slightly above 20 (upper limit)

Kidneys remain healthy. The marginally elevated BUN/Creatinine ratio can indicate mild dehydration.

BATCH 3 - Post-Operative ICU Period (17-19 June 2026)

Surgery was performed on 16 June 2026. Post-op monitoring took place in the CICU-CVTS (Cardiac ICU).

19. CBC Post-Op - Day 1 (17 June)

Parameter	Result	Change
Haemoglobin	10.3 g/dL ⬇	Dropped from 11.9 pre-op
RBC	3.75 million ⬇	Dropped
Haematocrit	32.2% ⬇	Low
Neutrophils	74.3% ⬆	High (normal: 50-62%)
Lymphocytes	18.1% ⬇	Low
Platelets	175,000	Low-normal

Expected post-surgical changes:

Drop in Hb from 11.9 → 10.3 = surgical blood loss (~1.6 g/dL drop, consistent with major thoracic surgery)
Neutrophilia (74.3%) is a normal stress response to surgery - the body releases neutrophils after any major procedure
Lymphopenia (low lymphocytes) is also a typical post-surgical immune shift
Blood transfusions were given (as documented in the surgical records) which helped maintain Hb from dropping further

20. Electrolytes Post-Op Day 1 (17 June)

Test	Result	Reference
Sodium	138.2 mmol/L ✅	Back to normal
Potassium	3.70 mmol/L ✅	Normal
Chloride	108 mmol/L ⬆	Still mildly high

Sodium corrected nicely after IV fluids. Potassium maintained safely (critical in cardiac ICU patients).

21. LFT Post-Op Day 1 (17 June)

Parameter	Result	Change
SGOT (AST)	39 U/L ⬆	Above normal (14-36)
Albumin	2.60 g/dL ⬇	Low (was 3.9 pre-op)
Total Protein	5.00 g/dL ⬇	Low (was 7.1)
SGPT, Bilirubin, ALP	Normal	Unchanged

Key post-op findings:

Low albumin (2.6 g/dL) - This is very common after major surgery. Albumin drops due to dilution from IV fluids, redistribution to tissues (third-spacing), and the acute inflammatory response. It contributes to post-op oedema and can affect drug binding.
Mildly elevated SGOT - AST is released from skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and liver. After thoracic surgery, mild elevation is expected from muscle/tissue handling. The SGPT (liver-specific) remains normal, so this is not a liver injury signal.

22. KFT Post-Op Day 1 (17 June)

Test	Result
Creatinine	0.7 mg/dL ✅
eGFR	101.1 mL/min ✅

Kidneys functioning well post-surgery. No acute kidney injury.

23. CBC Post-Op Day 2 (18 June)

Parameter	Result	Change
Haemoglobin	10.7 g/dL	Slightly improved (+0.4 from Day 1)
WBC	7070	Normal
Neutrophils	80.6% ⬆	Still elevated (post-op response)
Lymphocytes	12.6% ⬇	Low (lymphopaenia persisting)
Platelets	160,000	Low-normal

Hb improving with transfusion/recovery. Neutrophilia continuing - expected in the first few post-operative days.

24. Potassium & KFT (18 June)

Test	Result
K+	3.80 mmol/L ✅
Creatinine	0.6 mg/dL ✅
Urea	13.80 mg/dL ⬇ (slightly low)

Kidneys excellent. Low urea reflects good hydration status in ICU.

25. CBC Post-Op Day 3 (19 June)

Parameter	Result	Change
Haemoglobin	9.8 g/dL ⬇	Dropped again - likely haemodilution from IV fluids
Neutrophils	71.7% ⬆	Still elevated
Lymphocytes	18.0% ⬇	Low
Platelets	160,000	Borderline

Hb dip on Day 3 may reflect post-transfusion dilution. The post-surgical neutrophilia is gradually resolving. Still no sign of infection (WBC total is 4870, within normal range despite neutrophilia).

MOST IMPORTANT REPORT - Histopathology (22 June 2026)

Report No. 1917/26

Specimen: Mediastinal mass (removed 16 June 2026)

CT findings (pre-op, 26 May 2026):

Large, well-defined mixed-density mass: 8.3 × 5.1 × 12.2 cm
Involving the lower neck and retrosternal region
Contains fat, calcification, and soft tissue - classic CT appearance of a mature cystic teratoma

Gross examination (what the pathologist saw):

Specimen measured 14 × 7.0 × 4.7 cm (quite large)
External surface smooth
On cutting: cheesy necrotic material drained from cystic areas
Hair shafts visible inside the tumour

Microscopic findings: The pathologist examined multiple tissue samples (labelled A through M) and found:

Stratified squamous epithelium with sebaceous (oil) glands and keratin flakes
Glands with papillary structures and fibrovascular cores
Adipose (fat) tissue and fibrous stroma
Inflammatory cells (lymphocytes and plasma cells)
Mucinous epithelium with goblet cells (intestinal-type lining)
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium (respiratory-type lining)
Nerves, cartilage, and cholesterol clefts
Hemosiderin-laden macrophages (evidence of old bleeding inside the tumour)
Congested blood vessels and lymphoid aggregates
No immature (malignant) elements found

Final Diagnosis:

✅ MATURE CYSTIC TERATOMA - Mediastinal Mass

This is the most important result. A mature cystic teratoma (also called a dermoid cyst in other locations) is a benign tumour arising from germ cells, containing derivatives of all three embryonic germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm) - hence the presence of skin, hair, fat, cartilage, respiratory lining, and intestinal lining all within one tumour. The absence of immature elements confirms it is not malignant. Complete surgical excision (which was performed) is curative.

Overall conclusion: All her pre-operative labs confirmed she was fit for surgery - no diabetes, no infection, no cardiac/liver/kidney dysfunction, no blood-borne viruses. The post-op trend is exactly what is expected after major thoracic surgery - a drop in Hb, post-surgical neutrophilia, and a transient drop in albumin. The histopathology report (the final and most significant result) confirmed a benign mature cystic teratoma, meaning the surgery was curative and no further oncological treatment is required.

I now have everything. Here is the full explanation of both radiology files:

Radiology Reports - Full Explanation

Patient: Mrs. Roshani Sen | 26-year-old Female | UHID: PSH-677845 Hospital: Parul Sevashram Hospital, Radiology Department

These two files together contain serial chest X-rays (6 reports) and 3 ECGs (electrocardiograms) taken across the perioperative period (15-20 June 2026). Together they tell the story of the patient's journey from pre-op to post-op recovery.

FILE: radio 2.pdf - ECG (Pre-operative, 15 June 2026)

Acquired: 15-Jun-2026, 05:34 AM (the day before surgery)

ECG Parameter	Value	Normal Range	Interpretation
Heart Rate (HR)	81 /min	60-100	✅ Normal sinus rhythm
RR interval	733 ms	600-1000 ms	✅ Normal
PR interval	159 ms	120-200 ms	✅ Normal
QRS duration	65 ms	60-100 ms	✅ Normal (no bundle branch block)
QT interval	314 ms	-	✅ Normal
QTc (corrected QT)	382 ms	<440 ms (F)	✅ Normal (no QT prolongation)
R(I) amplitude	0.81 mV	-	Normal

Summary: A completely normal 12-lead ECG recorded at rest the evening before surgery. No arrhythmia, no conduction defects, no signs of cardiac strain or hypertrophy from the mediastinal mass pressing on the heart. This was an important pre-operative cardiac clearance.

FILE: radio 1.pdf - Serial Chest X-Rays & Intra/Post-op ECGs

ECG 1 - Pre-operative morning of surgery (16 June 2026, 04:09 AM)

Parameter	Value	Interpretation
HR	93 /min	✅ Normal
PR	161 ms	✅ Normal
QRS	64 ms	✅ Normal
QT	284 ms	✅ Normal
QTc	358 ms	✅ Normal

Normal ECG. Heart rate slightly higher at 93/min compared to the previous day (81/min) - consistent with normal pre-operative anxiety/stress. No new changes.

ECG 2 - Post-operative (16 June 2026, 13:27 PM - after surgery)

Parameter	Value	Interpretation
HR	54 /min	⬇ Bradycardia (low-normal)
PR	144 ms	✅ Normal
QRS	67 ms	✅ Normal
QT	372 ms	✅ Normal
QTc	-	Normal

HR dropped from 93 pre-op to 54/min post-op. This is expected and normal after major surgery under general anaesthesia - anaesthetic agents (especially opioids) and the vagal tone of recovery typically slow the heart rate. 54/min is still acceptable, especially in a healthy young woman. No conduction abnormalities.

Chest X-Ray Series (6 Reports)

X-Ray 1 - Pre-operative PA View (15 June 2026, 05:07 PM)

Reported: 16 June 2026, 12:39 AM (just before surgery day)

Findings:

"Fairly defined homogeneous opacity in the anterior mediastinum" - This is the teratoma itself, visible as a white mass in the front of the chest cavity
Contralateral shift of trachea - The large tumour was so big (14 × 7 cm) that it pushed the trachea (windpipe) away from its normal midline position toward the opposite side - a key sign of a large mediastinal mass
Both lung fields otherwise normal
Heart size normal
Both costophrenic angles clear (no fluid around lungs yet)
Bony thorax normal

Clinical significance: This X-ray confirmed the pre-operative status - large anterior mediastinal mass with mass effect causing tracheal deviation, consistent with the CT findings of an 8.3 × 12.2 cm teratoma.

X-Ray 2 - Immediate Post-operative AP View (16 June 2026, 02:50 PM)

Reported: Same day, 06:38 PM (taken in theatre/recovery right after surgery)

Findings:

Endotracheal (ET) tube in situ - patient still intubated, on the ventilator (she was extubated later at 3:30 PM per nursing notes)
Ryle's tube (nasogastric tube) in situ - stomach tube for feeding/drainage
Two chest drains visible:
- Drain 1: tip at 5th intercostal space, right parasternal (alongside the sternum)
- Drain 2: inserted at 9th intercostal space, tip at 3rd intercostal space
Both lung fields appear normal - good lung re-expansion after removal of the large mass
Mild apparent cardiomegaly (larger-looking heart) - noted as likely an artefact of the AP portable view (the heart appears larger on AP than PA views due to beam divergence)
Costophrenic angles clear

Clinical significance: Confirms successful surgery. The chest drains are in correct positions to drain any post-operative blood/fluid from the mediastinal space. The fact that lungs look normal after removing a 14 cm tumour is a good sign.

X-Ray 3 - POD-1 AP View (17 June 2026, 07:11 AM)

Reported: 17 June 2026, 11:36 AM

Findings:

Sternal sutures visible in midline - confirming a median sternotomy was performed (breastbone was cut and wired back together - the standard approach for mediastinal surgery)
Chest leads from cardiac monitoring visible
Both chest drains still in place (same positions as day before)
Both lung fields normal
Mild apparent cardiomegaly (AP view artefact)
Costophrenic angles clear

Clinical significance: Post-op Day 1 - stable appearance. Both drains functioning. Lungs clear.

X-Ray 4 - POD-2 Morning AP View (18 June 2026, 06:36 AM)

Reported: 18 June 2026, 09:14 AM

This is the most clinically significant X-ray:

Findings:

Right upper lung zone: radiolucent area without bronchovascular markings with partial collapse of right upper lobe - "possibility of pneumothorax involving right upper lung zone"
- A pneumothorax = air leaking into the pleural space (space between the lung and chest wall), causing partial lung collapse
Right lower lung zone: haziness + homogeneous opacity silhouetting the right dome of the diaphragm and right heart border, obscuring right costophrenic angle - "possibility of right-sided pleural effusion with underlying lung collapse and consolidation"
- A pleural effusion = fluid collecting around the right lung
- Consolidation = area of lung that has become solid/airless (can be blood, fluid, or early infection)
Left lung: normal
Left costophrenic angle clear

Clinical significance: This X-ray shows two serious post-operative complications developing on the right side (the operated side):

Right pneumothorax (air leak) - likely from air escaping along the drain tract or from the lung surface
Right pleural effusion with consolidation - post-operative fluid/blood collecting around the right lung, with possible partial lung collapse

This X-ray was taken at 6:36 AM. The same findings were seen on a repeat evening X-ray (see next).

X-Ray 5 - POD-2 Evening AP View (17 June 2026 7:39 PM / reported 18 June)

Findings: Identical to X-Ray 4:

Right upper zone pneumothorax
Right lower zone pleural effusion with consolidation/collapse
Left lung normal
Sternal sutures visible

This was taken the evening before to confirm the findings were real and not a positioning artefact. The chest drains were already in situ and the ICU team would have been managing output.

X-Ray 6 - POD-2 Afternoon AP View (18 June 2026, 03:39 PM)

Reported: 18 June 2026, 05:58 PM

Findings:

Both lung fields appear normal ✅
Sternal sutures in midline
Costophrenic angles clear
No pneumothorax mentioned
Mild apparent cardiomegaly (AP artefact)

Clinical significance: This is the recovery X-ray - taken just hours after the morning's concerning X-ray. By afternoon of POD-2, both lungs look normal. The chest drains had successfully drained the air and fluid. Excellent response to management. This is a dramatic improvement within just a few hours.

X-Ray 7 - POD-3 PA View (19 June 2026, 07:32 AM)

Findings:

Left lower lung zone: homogeneous opacity obscuring left costophrenic angle - "possibility of left-sided minimal pleural effusion"
Haziness in right lower lung zone (mild, residual)
Rest of lung fields normal
Sternal sutures visible
Heart shadow normal in size

Clinical significance: On POD-3, a small left-sided pleural effusion has appeared (opposite side to POD-2's right-sided issues). This is a common post-operative finding - fluid shifts after major surgery can cause small bilateral effusions. The word "minimal" is reassuring - it is a small amount of fluid. The right side, which had been the problem earlier, now only has mild haziness (residual, improving).

X-Ray 8 - POD-4 PA View (20 June 2026, 07:11 AM)

Findings:

Both lung fields appear normal ✅
Sternal sutures in midline
Heart shadow normal in size
Both costophrenic angles clear ✅ - the left-sided effusion has resolved
Bony thorax normal

Clinical significance: By POD-4, the chest X-ray is essentially clean. Both lungs fully re-expanded, no effusions, no pneumothorax. The patient has cleared her post-operative pulmonary complications and is recovering well.

Overall Timeline Summary

Date	Report	Key Finding
15 Jun (Pre-op evening)	ECG	Normal
15 Jun (Pre-op evening)	CXR PA	Large anterior mediastinal mass; tracheal deviation
16 Jun 04:09 (Op morning)	ECG	Normal, HR 93 (pre-op anxiety)
16 Jun 14:50 (Post-op)	CXR AP	ET tube, NG tube, 2 chest drains in situ; lungs normal after surgery
16 Jun 13:27 (Post-op)	ECG	Bradycardia 54/min (normal post-anaesthetic response)
17 Jun (POD-1)	CXR AP	Stable; sternal wires; drains in place; lungs normal
18 Jun morning (POD-2)	CXR AP	⚠ Right pneumothorax + right pleural effusion/consolidation
18 Jun evening (POD-2)	CXR AP	Same complications confirmed
18 Jun afternoon (POD-2)	CXR AP	✅ Both lungs normal - rapid resolution
19 Jun (POD-3)	CXR PA	Small left minimal pleural effusion; right improving
20 Jun (POD-4)	CXR PA	✅ Both lungs completely clear - full recovery

Bottom line: The radiology reports show the complete trajectory of a major cardiothoracic operation - from a pre-op chest full of a large mediastinal tumour causing tracheal deviation, through the expected post-operative complications (pneumothorax, pleural effusion on POD-2), and finally to complete lung recovery by POD-4. The ECGs throughout confirmed there was no cardiac injury from the surgery or the tumour. The sternal wires visible on every post-op film confirm this was a full median sternotomy - a major open chest operation.
