Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 29556
  • Image ID: 7303918
  • Image stack position: 24/61
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: C+ arterial phase
  • Study findings: A large anterior mediastinal mass measures 13.1 cm transversely and 7.5 cm anteroposteriorly and 10.2 cm craniocaudally. The mass continues superiorly on the right anterolateral to the brachiocephalic artery. The mass contains multiple blood vessels within it.There is a moderate pericardial effusion. A small left pleural effusion is also apparent. No axillary lymphadenopathy. The lungs are clear. Limited scans to the upper abdomen demonstrate a normal size spleen and no further abnormality. Conclusion: Large anterior mediastinal mass. This is most likely lymphoma. Moderate pericardial effusion.
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Chest
  • Findings: A large (roughly 9 x 9 x 14 cm) anterior mediastinal soft density mass is noted without internal calcification. The lungs, heart and superior mediastinum appear unremarkable. No osseous lesion identified. Conclusion: Large anterior mediastinal mass may represent lymphoma (most likely) or a thymic tumor, metastatic nodal mass, vascular anomaly etc... This needs prompt further assessment with contrast enhanced CT scan.
