Abstract

Fibrosing mediastinitis is a rare benign disorder that is characterized by deposition of dense fibrous tissue throughout the mediastinum and hilar regions (1). Resultant infiltrative or compressive effects on vital mediastinal organs such as central systemic vein, airway, and pulmonary vessels, could increase morbidity and in rare circumstances even mortality (2). We reported a rare case of fibrosing mediastinitis causing pulmonary infarction by encasing pulmonary artery that was detected on chest computed tomography (CT).
