    1. Diogo Pinheiro says:

      Bulging left paraspinal line. Posterior mediastinal lesion. Ddx includes neurogenic tumor, extramedullary haematopoiesis, and vascular abnormality.

    2. M. A. Fahmy says:

      Loss of the cardiac waist in keeping with dilated pulmonary artery.
      Minimal scoliotic list of the lower thoracic spine.
      Clear lung fields.
      Mmmm, I think there is an irregularity of the left hemi-diaphragm, may be sub phrenic cause, ? Gastric mass.

      • M. A. Fahmy says:

        Yes, I agree as well with Diogo for the bulging of left para spinal line with a soft tissue, may be the cause of the slight scoliosis.

    3. Cornilius Mushambi says:

      I agree with Diogo

    4. Moustafa Yehia says:

      Bulging noted at the aortopulmonary window with no associated vascular changes .. Enlarged LN is suspected for CT, no scilhouting of the descending aorta, middle mediastinal pathology

    5. sht says:

      Agree with bulge in left paraspinal line.
      No cardiomegaly, but cardiac apex uptilted – ?RV hypertrophy.

    6. Uli says:

      I go for a Posterior mediastinum paraspinal ganglioneuroma- Because of the shape, age and location.. Maybe we should look for Men 2b with tendency to marfanoid habitus associated with lower limb problems.

      Extramedullary hematopoesis is less probable cause I dont think there are signs of splenomegaly which we usually could see in such case

      …Diogo ….l’idea iniziale….Uil….la diagnosi finale…..

    8. I.KARIMO says:

      anterior mediastinal lesion

    9. Aloria says:

      left hilar malignant mass

    10. Ehab says:

      Left para spinal homogeneous opasity opposit D6 and D7. Right list of mid dorsal spine. No pulmonary lesion. Posterior mediastinal mass is considered
