Calcified Mediastinal Lesions: A Rare and Unusual Coincidence

Abstract

Calcification in thyroid and thymic tumors are very rare. Here we present two cases reported to the outpatient department within a span of one week. Both of them had radiological evidence of mediastinal tumor with ring calcification in the outer border. One was diagnosed as retrosternal thyroid with calcification by surgical biopsy. The other case was a superior mediastinal tumour with ring calcification and a diagnosis of thymic lesion was made based on the clinical evidence of myasthenia gravis in the patient.
