Azygos vein aneurysm mimicking paratracheal mass: dynamic magnetic resonance imaging findings.
Aneurysms of the azygos vein are rare and can sometimes mimic a paratracheal or posterior mediastinal mass. It is important to confirm the diagnosis with radiologic tools before performing invasive procedures, which carry the risk of hemorrhage. Here, we present a case in a 79-year-old asymptomatic patient of an increasing azygos vein aneurysm that mimicked a growing paratracheal mass. Review o...
متن کامل[Azygos vein aneurysm forming a mediastinal mass].
Aneurysm of the azygos vein is a rare cause of mediastinal mass that is normally detected radiologically in asymptomatic patients. In some cases a diagnosis is made by noninvasive methods, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance. However, in the present case imaging revealed what appeared to be a solid mass. When the mass had been excised by thoracotomy, the histopathologic diagnosis...
متن کاملAzygos Vein Aneurysm Mimicking a Calcified Lymph Node
A 66-year-old female who had been receiving treatment for a non-tuberculous pulmonary mycobacterial infection underwent enhanced computed tomography (CT). A wellcircumscribed, high density nodule, measuring 12 mm in diameter, was noted in the right main bronchus (Picture 1) and it was initially considered to be a calcified mediastinal lymph node that had been caused by the mycobacterial infecti...
متن کاملIdiopathic azygos vein aneurysm: a rare cause of mediastinal mass.
Venous aneurysm of the azygos arch is a very rare cause of mediastinal mass and is usually an incidental finding on chest radiography. Nowadays the diagnosis is made by non-invasive tests such as thoracic CT scanning and/or magnetic resonance imaging. The case is described of an asymptomatic woman in whom a mediastinal mass due to an azygos vein aneurysm was diagnosed by non-invasive procedures...
