Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are catecholamine-producing tumors that arise from the adrenal glands or paraganglia. These rarely occur in chest, especially anterior mediastinum. Here, we describe a rare case of mediastinum, report on key points surgery perioperative management. An 80-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for fatigue hypertension.

Liposarcoma is rare in children and rarely occurs in the posterior mediastinum in any age group. A massive intrathoracic tumor in a 17-year-old young man was a diagnostic dilemma; preoperative radiographic evaluation and biopsy led us to believe it was a teratoma. At operation, a poorly differentiated myxoid liposarcoma originating from the posterior mediastinum was found and excised. To our kn...
