Surgery for posterior mediastinal dumbbell tumors: a case report

Conclusion The intrathoracic component of a posterior mediastinal dumbbell tumor can be resected by biportal thoracoscopy with the patient in a prone position, reducing the operative time. If the diagnosis of a dumbbell tumor is inconclusive, an endoscopic biopsy should be performed before removing the tumor.
