AbstractWe present the case of a 31-year-old man who presented with acute chest pain. Computed tomography scan showed a mediastinal mass engulfing right main-stem bronchus and another mass surrounding descending aorta. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed high mass metabolic activity. Histopathological evaluation revealed fibroinflammatory scarring. He was diagnosed with idiopathic fibrosing mediastinitis, started on prednisone and tamoxifen treatment, and monitored with serial PET scans. Nine months after treatment initiation, paraaortic abnormality had resolved and mediastinal mass had regressed. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
