A 27-year-old man with an incidental mass seen on health screening radiograph. (a) Frontal chest radiograph shows a mass with a broad base to the pleura, in keeping with a mediastinal mass. (b) Axial and, (c) coronal contrast enhanced CT images of the thorax show a soft tissue mass centred in the anterior mediastinum. Hypodense components within the mass are in keeping with macroscopic fat, with Hounsfield unit measuring -26 HU. Imaging and histological features are consistent with that of a mature teratoma.

Figure 5
Multinodular goitre of an 80-year-old woman. (a) Frontal chest radiograph shows a smooth marginated paratracheal mass extending above the clavicles, in keeping with the cervicothoracic sign. (b) Coronal and, (c) axial contrast enhanced CT images of the thorax show the retrosternal extension of goitre into the mediastinum, narrowing the trachea (arrow).
Figure 6
Figure 6
(a) Frontal chest radiograph of a 40-year-old woman, shows a widened mediastinum (white arrow), and bulky lobulated hilum (black arrow). (b) Axial and, (c) coronal contrast enhanced CT images of the thorax confirm multiple enlarged conglomerate lymph nodes encasing the major branches of the thoracic aorta. This was histologically proven to be Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
