case_images: This mass had only marginally increased in size during this time (Fig. 4). Two years later her annual scan revealed an increase in the size of mediastinal mass to 5.8 by 3.1 cm (Fig. 4) Whole body metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy showed no uptake in the mass (Fig. 5).
case_images: a The histology showed HE (hematoxylin and eosinophil) stained intermediate sized lymphocytes with cytoplamic processes. b Immunochemistry showing Tdt, CD1 and cd5 reactive T lymphocytes
