Fibrosing mediastinitis is an uncommon benign disorder in which a chronic inflammatory reaction results in diffuse fibrosis of the mediastinum, potentially compromising the airways, great vessels and other mediastinal structures. Herein we describe a progressive course of fibrosing mediastinitis in a 72-year-old man. Computed tomography images depicted a diffuse, infiltrative, soft tissue mass involving the esophagus and superior vena cava in the mediastinum. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed destruction of the adjacent thoracic spine. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography also revealed increased metabolism in the periphery of the mass.
纤维性纵隔炎是一种罕见的良性疾病，慢性炎症反应导致纵隔弥漫性纤维化，可能会影响气道、大血管和其他纵隔结构。在此，我们描述一名72岁男性纤维性纵隔炎的进展过程。计算机断层扫描图像显示纵隔内一个弥漫性、浸润性软组织肿块累及食管和上腔静脉。磁共振成像显示相邻胸椎破坏。正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描也显示肿块周边代谢增加。
