We present a rare case of posterior mediastinal
ganglioneuroma
with fat tissue. A 50-year-old man visited our Department of Internal Medicine because of hypertension and
fatty liver
. On screening with abdominal CT a soft tissue tumor was found in the posterior mediastinum. CT and MRI revealed that the tumor appeared to have an abundant fatty component. To obtain a definitive diagnosis, the tumor was resected thoracoscopically. The histological diagnosis was
ganglioneuroma
. A
ganglioneuroma
containing a fat component has rarely been reported after cross-sectional imaging. We infer that the tumor may have resulted from spontaneous regression, with subsequent infiltration of adipose tissue from the posterior mediastinum.
