This case aims to illustrate the complications arising from anterior mediastinal masses, particularly focusing on SVC obstruction.
Presented a case of a 53-year-old woman with a history of fever and cough.
Used contrast-enhanced CT to diagnose a large anterior mediastinal mass causing SVC obstruction.
Administered concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and performed serial imaging for tumor monitoring.
Partial regression of the tumor was observed via imaging.
Developed persistent SVC obstruction, post-radiation pulmonary fibrosis, and haematological toxicity including leucopenia and thrombocytopenia.
Highlighted the necessity of holistic nursing care and ongoing haematological surveillance.
