Robotic mediastinal tumor excision

Robotic mediastinal tumor excision

Background 

A 29-year-old male patient from Kerala was incidentally told about a left mediastinal tumor on a chest x-ray while undergoing screening for a job.

Diagnosis and Treatment 

There were no comorbidities. The CT chest showed 3.7*2.7*2.6 cm smooth hypodense lesion in left paravertebral area at T3-T4 level. The MRI spine showed no spinal cord extension. The patient was taken for robotic mediastinal tumor excision. Histopathology report of the excised tumor suggested benign spindle cell lesion, probably of neural origin favouring schwannoma. The patient was discharged on the second postoperative day (POD 2).
