Angiosarcoma of the Posterior Mediastinum is a rare entity. We herein report a case of a giant posterior mediastinal Angiosarcoma. A 54-year female presented with a one-year history of epigastric pain. Her upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy revealed no abnormality. Chest x-Ray showed a shadow in the hilar area. A computed tomographic scan of the Thorax (CT) and MRI Scan showed a mass in the Posterior Mediastinum. CT-guided biopsy revealed the tumor of vascular origin. The tumor was completely resected. Post-operative recovery was uneventful. After 14 months follow up patient is disease-free, and a CT scan of the chest showed no recurrence.
