Primary Anterior Mediastinal Cholesterol Granuloma: A Rare Case in a Young Woman and Literature Review
MCG is a rare anterior mediastinal lesion with nonspecific imaging features. A history of dyslipidemia or chest trauma combined with compatible imaging findings should prompt consideration of MCG in the differential diagnosis. The possibility of MCG should also be considered in young women with a history of tuberculosis or syphilis. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of MCG to reduce misdiagnoses and guide appropriate management.
