  • Title: Leiomyomatous hamartoma of the posterior mediastinum.
    Author: Bibas BJ, Terra RM, Fernandez A, Shiang C, Pêgo-Fernandes PM, Jatene FB.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2010 Jan; 89(1):304-5. PubMed ID: 20103268.
    Abstract:
    A posterior mediastinal mass was found in a 72-year-old man who complained of progressive shortness of breath. Computed tomography of the thorax showed a well-defined, heterogenous mass measuring 9.5 x 4.0 x 3.0 cm, located in the right costovertebral angle. Complete surgical resection was accomplished through a right posterolateral thoracotomy. The final diagnosis was a leiomyomatous hamartoma of the posterior mediastinum. This is an unusual location for this type of tumor, and it has rarely been reported in the literature.
