Thoracic CT scan showed mediastinal masses compressing the pulmonary arteries and veins, and a preliminary diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease was later confirmed by mediastinoscopy and lymph node biopsy. Following two courses of chemotherapy the masses diminished. The lumen of the left atrium increased, pulmonary hypertension and SVTs receded.
