Abstract
We present a case of an enlarging retrocardiac mass lesion in which we observed the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding of a fatty tumor with contiguous blood vessels extending from the abdominal portion into the thoracic portion of the tumor. These surgically verified findings provide an MRI indication of the presence of a paraesophageal omental hiatal hernia.
