Giant esophageal varices. An unusual cause of a posterior mediastinal mass

S G Basheda et al. Chest. 1993 Apr.

Abstract

Esophageal pathology rarely presents as posterior mediastinal abnormalities on chest roentgenograms, with the most common being hiatal hernia. We describe a patient with giant esophageal varices manifesting as a retrocardiac, posterior mediastinal mass.
