case_images: Chest and abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan without contrast-enhanced were ordered immediately. Chest CT scan revealed a paraspinal mass in the left posterior mediastinum (Figure 1(a)) and overinflation in the left lower lobe (Figure 1(b)).
case_images: Contrast-enhanced chest CT scan findings following antibiotic therapy.. The paraspinal mass was mildly enhanced without significant feeding vessels.

case_images: A 5 x 4 x 4 cm triangular mass covered by visceral pleura with a dark and hemorrhagic appearance was found above the diaphragm (Figure 3(a)). After isolating the mass from the surrounding tissues, we noticed that the mass was connected to the thoracic aorta by a twisted feeding vessel (Figure 3(b)).
