Fig 1 (A) A bulging opacity (4.7 cm, arrow) with calcified rim shadow projected of right paramedian anterior mediastinum. (B) Lateral view of the chest roentgenogram showed one large tumor in the anterior mediastinum.

Fig 2 A computed tomographic scan of the mediastinum show unilocular cystic structure (approximately 4.9 × 3.7 cm in size) with low attenuation signal within the cyst, which suggests fluid content. The lesion is sharply demarcated from the surrounding soft tissue with multifocal calcifications in the wall.
