Abstract:
The rarity of PEComa tumours has precluded any clinical trials, but surgery remains the most commonly reported treatment modality with just a few reports on treatment plans involving chemoradiation. We describe a patient with a mediastinal PEComa who presented with symptoms concerning for superior vena cava syndrome. She was deemed inoperable and was thus treated exclusively with chemoradiation therapy. The use of chemoradiation in the treatment of PEComa tumours is reviewed.
