Juvenile fibromatosis of the posterior mediastinum with intraspinal extension

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1996 Mar;17(3):522-4.

Abstract

Chest radiography, CT, and MR imaging were performed in a 3-year-old girl who had posterior mediastinal fibromatosis with transforaminal intraspinal and chest wall extension. Chest radiographs and CT scans showed a slow-growing, noncalcified but locally aggressive left paravertebral mass. The mass was slightly hyperintense relative to muscle on both T1-weighted and fast spin-echo T2-weighted MR images.
