Spontaneous hemomediastinum complicating steroid-induced mediastinal lipomatosis.
Spontaneous hemomediastinum is a rare event, occurring in association with bleeding disorders, intratumoral bleeding, or following an abrupt increase in intrathoracic pressure. We report the case of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus, nephrotic syndrome, and renal failure, in whom mediastinal lipomatosis (ML) developed following increased corticosteroid therapy.
