Mediastinal tumors represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for medical team. Depending on the tumor location and patient age group we can have an idea about diagnostic possibilities; sometimes this is not feasible and a surgical approach becomes necessary both as diagnostic and therapeutic. We present the case of a patient with a highly vascular mediastinal tumor that was resected by a thoracoscopic approach, final histopathological report was a glomangioma, a rare tumor derived from myoepithelial cells.
