Mediastinal angioleiomyoma

Ann Thorac Surg. 2002 May;73(5):1653-4. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(01)03366-5.

Abstract

We report a case of a mediastinal angioleiomyoma. The patient was a 64-year-old previously healthy man. Computed tomographic scan revealed a well-circumscribed tumor with a diameter of approximately 2 cm in the right anterior mediastinum. We removed the tumor through a midline sternotomy. Microscopic examination revealed a highly vascular mesenchymal tumor without cellular dysplasia or mitotic figures.
