Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2021 Nov 19;72:103087. doi: 10.1016/j.amsu.2021.103087. eCollection 2021 Dec.ABSTRACTAngiosarcoma of the Posterior Mediastinum is a rare entity. We herein report a case of a giant posterior mediastinal Angiosarcoma. A 54-year female presented with a one-year history of epigastric pain. Her upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy revealed no abnormality. Chest x-Ray showed a shadow in the hilar area. A computed tomographic scan of the Thorax (CT) and MRI Scan showed a mass in the Posterior Mediastinum. CT-guided biopsy revealed the tumor of vascular origin. The tumor was completely resected. Post-operative recovery was uneventful. After 14 months follow up patient is disease-free, and a CT scan of the chest showed no recurrence.PMID:34868576 | PMC:PMC8626570 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.103087
