Massive Hemorrhage Following Spontaneous Mediastinal Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor Rupture: A Case Report
A 45-year-old male in a hypertensive emergency was admitted with complaints of frontal headache, progressive chest discomfort, shortness of breath, dysphagia, and right upper quadrant abdominal pain radiating across the epigastrium and to the back that increases in intensity with deep inspiration.

description | A 45-year-old male in a hypertensive emergency was admitted with complaints of frontal headache, progressive chest discomfort, shortness of breath, dysphagia, and right upper quadrant abdominal pain radiating across the epigastrium and to the back that increases in intensity with deep inspiration. He denied any history of abdominal pain, vomiting, dyspnea, nausea, and weight loss. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest showed a posterior mediastinal mass between the esophagus and descending aorta. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed a non-enhancing posterior mediastinal mass possibly compressing both the esophagus and the airway. A 30-degree thoracoscope was inserted in the chest cavity revealing a large hemothorax from a possibly ruptured inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) encompassing nearly the entire pleural space with both fresh and clotted blood. Two liters of fresh blood was removed via a right thoracotomy procedure. Once removed, a large fibrinous clot-filled mass was resected entirely and sent to pathology. Postoperative recovery was uneventful; dysphagia and shortness of breath resolved. The patient gradually resumed his regular diet. |
