Abstract
In the literature the occurrence of thymomas in goats varies from 0.7 to 25%, depending on the study. Therefore the current investigation was carried out to determine the prevalence of thymoma in goats in Poland. Between 2007 and 2018 at the Warsaw Veterinary Faculty 399 goat autopsies and ultrasound examinations of the chest in other 145 goats were performed. Mediastinal tumors were diagnosed during post mortem examination in 2 goats. Additionally, ultrasound examination of the chest revealed a large mass close to the heart in the thoracic cavity in 1 case. This goat was euthanized and an autopsy confirmed a mediastinal tumor. Histopathological examination, with immunohistochemical tests to anti cytokeratin, p63 and p40 confirmed thymomas in all three cases. In our study thymomas were found in 0.5% (95% CI: 0.1% to 1.8%) of examined goats and they represented the most common malignancy in this species.

Abstract
A case of disseminated lesions in the lungs was diagnosed just during autopsy as cytomegalic infection. 54-year old patient treated since 10 years because of lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma of low malignancy was admitted to Institute of Tuberculosis with suspicion of miliary tuberculosis. The high temperature, pemphigus--like skin lesions and disseminated lesions in the chest X-ray appeared immediately after succeeding chemotherapy. Tuberculous bacilli. Aspergillus fumigatus and Pneumocystis carinii were not found in examined materials (BALF, blood, urine, skin and mucous lesions). Patient died after 3 days and typical lesions of cytomegalovirus infection were found only after autopsy in macroscopic picture of the lungs.

Abstract
Hemangiomas of the mediastinum are rare tumors. They represent fewer than 0.5% of the mediastinal tumors. Because of their rarity, the diagnosis and treatment of these tumors is difficult. We present a case of venous hemangioma of the mediastinum in a young woman. Despite of routine examination applied in mediastinal tumors the appropriate diagnosis was not done by the accessible methods.
