A CXR performed on admission shows a widened mediastinum (a). A contrast enhanced CT on admission shows a mediastinal tumor compressing trachea (b). A CXR performed after intubation on day 2 shows atelectasis of the left lung and a venous cannula inserted for ECMO (c). A CXR performed after one course of consolidation chemotherapy on day 71 shows disappearance of atelectasis and shrinkage of the mediastinal tumor (d). A contrast enhanced CT on hospital day 87 shows partial remission of the mediastinal tumor (e).
