Posterior mediastinal arteriovenous malformation: report of a case.
Vascular malformations of the mediastinum are extremely rare. We report a histologically proven case of a posterior mediastinal arteriovenous malformation in a 54-year-old woman simulating a mediastinal tumor and we describe the findings in conventional radiography, computed tomography, and digital subtraction angiography.
