We report thoracoscopic resection of @entity706 originated from the posterior mediastinum. The @entity1 was a 19-year-old @entity1 , who was pointed out to show an abnormal shadow in the left upper lung in the chest X-ray photograph. It was diagnosed as a @entity5 by dynamic MRI, and thoracoscopic surgery was performed. The @entity5 was adjacent to the vertebral body of the fourth thoracic vertebra. Although operation involved 2 hours and 40 minutes and 670 ml of @entity548 due to a strong adhesion between the @entity5 and the intercostal muscle and considerable @entity548 from the @entity5 itself, it was successfully removed under thoracoscopy. The @entity5 was elastic and hard, and 50 x 45 x 25 mm in size. The histopathological diagnosis was a @entity706 , hyaline vascular type. The postoperative course was satisfactory, and the @entity1 was discharged from the hospital on the 7th postoperative day. @entity706 originated from the posterior mediastinum tends to bleed considerably during its resection. If a @entity5 was found preoperatively, thoracoscopic operation must be advanced carefully keeping this disease in mind.
