Abstract: A 19‐year‐old man presented to the emergency department with weakness, loss of appetite, and a weight loss of at least 13 kg in 5 months. He also complained of exertional dyspnea, dry cough, day and night sweats, and abdominal plus lower back pain. The physical examination revealed a temperature of 39.3°C but nothing else abnormal. The chest x‐ray (Figure 1) revealed a mass that appeared to be located in the posterior mediastinum.
