Abstract

Nonneurogenic dumbbell tumors are rare. This report describes the case of a 46-year-old woman with a symptomatic mediastinal dumbbell angiolipoma. The tumor was successfully resected using a single-stage procedure, combining a posterior microneurosurgical and thoracoscopic approach. The patient made an uneventful recovery and the neurologic symptoms improved immediately.
