AI Article Synopsis
- Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare and usually non-malignant soft tissue tumor that can grow invasively into surrounding structures.
- A case report details the radical resection of a mediastinal AFH that invaded the pulmonary artery wall, was attached to the aorta, and was near the left coronary artery.
- The surgery involved a transection of the aorta using cardiopulmonary bypass to ensure a safe removal, which ultimately relieved the patient's symptoms.
Article Abstract
Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare soft tissue tumour that rarely behaves malignant. We report a radical resection of a mediastinal AFH, which grew invasively into the pulmonary artery wall, was adherent to the posterior aorta and close to the main stem of the left coronary artery. A transection of the aorta was performed using cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest for a safe and radical removal that resulted in symptom relief.
