We present a case of mediastinal mesenchymal tumor in a 53-year-old woman with a 1-month history of chest tightness. A histological diagnosis of lymphangiohemangioma was obtained by excisional biopsy. CT findings are reported with emphasis on its association with intratumoral superior vena cava ectasia.
