Chondroma is a slowly growing, benign cartilaginous tumor which predominantly occurs in long bones of the hands and feet. Primary mediastinal chondroma is rare, especially with Horner's syndrome.
We reported the case of a 31-year-old woman with a posterior mediastinum mass associated with Horner's syndrome. After complete dissection of the mass, a pathological diagnosis of the primary mediastinal chondroma was rendered. The patient has shown no local recurrence or distal disease in a 3.5-year follow-up period.
The preoperative diagnosis of chondroma should combine various examinations for comprehensive evaluation. Complete surgical resection should be the first choice of the treatment due to the risk of malignancy.
软骨瘤是一种缓慢生长的良性软骨肿瘤,主要发生在手和脚的长骨中。原发性纵隔软骨瘤很少见,特别是伴有霍纳综合征。
我们报告了一例 31 岁女性患者,其存在后纵隔肿块合并霍纳综合征。在完全切除肿块后,做出了原发性纵隔软骨瘤的病理诊断。在 3.5 年的随访中,患者未出现局部复发或远处疾病。
软骨瘤的术前诊断应结合各种检查进行综合评估。由于存在恶性风险,完整的手术切除应是首选治疗方法。
