“…Mediastinal SFT may arise in any compartment of the mediastinum. A number of mediastinal SFTs had also contact to the epicardium [ 122 ], and in such cases, it may be questionable whether these represent true primary mediastinal SFT [ 123 – 125 ]. Thoracic SFTs reach a large size and may extend to the chest wall, protrude in the lung or even invade other structures [ 124 ].…”

Mesenchymal tumours of the mediastinum—part I

et al. 2015

The mediastinum is an anatomically defined space in which organs and major blood vessels reside with surrounding soft tissue elements. The thymus is an important organ in the mediastinum, and many of the masses encountered in the mediastinum are related to this organ. Most neoplasms diagnosed in the mediastinum are epithelial tumours (thymomas and thymic carcinomas), lymphomas or germ cell tumours. In contrast, soft tissue tumours of the mediastinum are rare. In 1963, Pachter and Lattes systematically reviewed soft tissue pathology of the mediastinum, covering the hitherto described [2, 226, 227] In this review, based on the 2013 WHO classification of soft tissue tumours and the 2015 WHO classification of tumours of the lung, pleura, thymus and heart, we provide an updated overview of mesenchymal tumours that may be encountered in the mediastinum.

“…Tumors where arterial blood supply originates from the coronary arteries are very rare. Interestingly, even in the last year's published cases 3 4 5 the CTA as a radiological tool failed to provide imaging of coronary blood supply to the tumor. In all cases, a left heart catheterization for direct coronarography was necessary for further diagnostics.…”

THORAC CARDIOV SURG Reports

Thymomas are rare tumors that commonly lie in the anterior mediastinum. The arteries supplying thymomas branch from the internal thoracic arteries and their collaterals. This report presents a patient with huge mediastinal thymoma, whose sensational vascularization is ensured directly by a single dominant tributary branch of the left internal thoracic artery. After initially performed computed tomography angiography, the tumor was suspect to be vascularized from the right coronary artery. Triple-rule-out computed tomography scan was a key step for accurate radiologic diagnosis.

“…While few SFTs have been reported to arise from vasculature, many of them have increased vascularity and tend to be very large in size. This blood supply can be parasitic 9 or the result of increased vascularity from tumor growth. To help manage these tumors intraoperatively, coil embolization has been used.…”
