We present the case of a 41-year-old man with an anterior mediastinal mass and constellation of clinical symptoms, including dyspnea, pleural effusions, pericardial effusions, renal insufficiency, and pancytopenia.

This case highlights the importance of obtaining large tissue biopsy samples, interval follow-up, and acknowledging cognitive biases.
