Abstract:
Mediastinal ultrasound is currently being performed by a variety of different practioners but all need to be familiar with major pathology outside their narrow fields. We are reporting the first case where echocardiography led to the discovery of a mediastinal mass which upon endoscopic-ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA) was found to be a plasmacytoma. The differential diagnosis of mediastinal masses is briefly reviewed.
