    A rare intrathoracic chemodectoma, also known as non-chromaffin paraganglioma, was diagnosed in a patient with an esophageal anomaly. This case highlights the importance of angiography in diagnosing these rare mediastinal tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Thoracic Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • A mediastinal tumor was discovered in an asymptomatic woman with a history of vomiting and an untreated esophageal anomaly.
    • The anterosuperior mediastinal tumor, near the aortic arch, was surgically removed and identified as a chemodectoma (non-chromaffin paraganglioma).

    Observation:

    • Post-surgery, the patient experienced progressive cardiomegaly, while the esophageal anomaly remained unchanged.
    • A subsequent lung opacity led to the discovery of an intrapulmonary osteochondroma, pericarditis, and an intrapericardial chemodectoma.

    Findings:

    • Intrathoracic chemodectomas are rare, with malignant degeneration seldom observed.
    • Angiography is crucial for diagnosing these rare mediastinal tumors.

  • Surgical intervention is the primary therapy as the tumor is radioresistant.

    • Implications:

    • The case suggests the possibility of tumor relapse with degeneration or multiple tumor localizations.
    • This case underscores the need for vigilant long-term follow-up for patients with mediastinal chemodectomas.
    • Further research into the etiology and optimal management of multiple chemodectoma presentations is warranted.
