- Abstract
A 62-year-old man who presented with the chief complaint of hemoptysis is reported. A chest radiograph obtained on admission showed a huge cystic mass located at the posterior mediastinum. Prior to surgery, transarterial embolization was done because of continuous massive hemoptysis. An uneventful removal of the tumor was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was schwannoma. The hemoptysis was thought to have been caused by changes in the cystic formation in combination with inflammation which extended to the lung. Copyright © 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel
