ABSTRACT
We report a rare case of mediastinal desmoid tumor in a 17-year-old man. The patient was a 17-year old man who had underwent surgery for mediastinal tumor at our hospital 2 years before. The tumor was diagnosed as a solitary fibrous tumor of the mediastinum. After 2 years, chest computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging( MRI) showed a mass at the previously resected site. Surgery was performed again under the diagnosis of recurrent tumor. The tumor densely adhered to the superior vena cava, right innominate vein, pericardium, and the right lung. The tumor was completely resected with the aid of the partial extracorporeal circulation. Finally, both previously resected tumor and the recurrent tumor were diagnosed pathologically as desmoid tumors.
