Prominent convexity of the right mediastinal border. The hilar vessels are clearly seen through this structure.
From the case:
Anterior mediastinal mass
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/73790/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Large anterior mediastinal mass measuring up to 10.2cm accounts for the changes seen on CXR. The internal characteristics are difficult to confirm due to the arterial nature of the study.
Case Discussion
Findings of an anterior mediastinal mass on the frontal chest x-ray, with large convexity inseparable from the mediastinum with hilar vessels seen through it and lack of rib splaying. The most likely diagnosis is a thymic tumor.
