Abstract:
This report presents imaging from a mediastinal mass in a patient with colon cancer. At baseline and surveillance chest computed tomography examinations, it was characterized as a pericardial cyst. However, during chemotherapy, complications arose and this mass was further characterized with a chest MRI. It was then decided to be removed, and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a hemangioma.
