Abstract
We report two cases of aggressive fibromatosis of the mediastinum with esop hageal involvement in adults. CT showed the posterior mediastinal mass invo lving the esophagus. In both cases, surgical resection was not feasible. Hi stopathologic examination showed a fibrous tissue. The patients died two ye ars later.
