Abstract
Presentation of Case A 45-year-old woman with known Hodgkin's disease was admitted to the hospital after the abrupt onset of burning dysesthesias. She was well until six weeks earlier, when a nonproductive cough developed, with occasional subxiphoid pain. An x-ray film of the chest, obtained elsewhere, showed an anterior superior mediastinal mass, and a computed tomographic (CT) scan of the thorax confirmed its presence. Fifteen days before admission the patient first came to this hospital. The patient was a schoolteacher. Her husband and two children were living and well. There was a history of mitral-valve prolapse noted several years earlier. . . .
