Spectrum of uncommon enhancing anterior mediastinal masses
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
We present to you three abnormally enhancing mediastinal masses in the form of Castelman's disease, Ectopic parathyroid adenoma and a pseudoaneurysm. Castelman's disease is a rare, benign, lymphoproliferative disorder. Radiologically, it can present as either unicentric (local) or multicentric(systemic). Though parathyroid adenoma is a common cause for hyperparathroidism, 10% of the cases are found in ectopic parathyroid gland. Hence the prompt identification and diagnosis can be a challenge. Pseudoaneurysm is a condition in which there is a defect in vessel wall causing leakage from the artery. It is an emergency condition which when untreated may cause serious complications such as rupture and can have a high mortality rate.
