P22.08 Paraganglioma of the Anterior Mediastinum.

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. A 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine scintigraphic scan revealed an mediastinal tumor with high signal intensity. Chest computed tomography showed 44-mm mass mediastinum adjacent ascending aorta superior vena cava. The low intensity T1-weighted images T2-weighted images. pheochromocytoma right gland had been removed patient 35 years earlier. present using video-assisted thoracic after controlling patient’s blood pressure. There were three drainage veins, unlike gland, it relatively difficult identify inflow outflow vessels. Nevertheless, successful postoperative course uneventful. When performing attention must be paid presence In addition, good pressure control prior is needed reduce risk complications during period.
