ABSTRACT
A 65-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on a chest radiogram. Swelling of the face and upper limbs were noted. Enhanced computed tomography showed a 62×101 mm mass in the anterior mediastinum with invasion to the superior vena cava (SVC) and the right upper lobe of the lung. Surgical resection through a sternotomy was performed. The mediastinal tumor was resected along with the left brachiocephalic vein, the part of SVC wall and the partial right upper lobe of the lung with a clamp on the proximal SVC, followed by a left brachiocephalic vein reconstruction. There has been no evidence of recurrence after 1 year. This procedure may be an efficacious technical option in case of anterior mediastinal invasive tumor.
