Figure 1
(a) Chest X-ray image showed a mass shadow in the cardiac silhouette obscuring the azygoesophageal line (arrowhead). (b) and (c) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a mass in the subcarinal azygoesophageal recess. The mass was hyperintense on T2-weighted images (arrowhead) (b). Flow voids (arrowhead) were detected within the mass (c). (d) and (e): On contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, the mass was enhanced homogeneously and intensely (arrowhead) (d), and enlarged vessels were detected just cephalad to the tumor (arrowhead) (e).
