%X The authors report a case of Large
Anterior mediastinal mass in which Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)
revealed a large mass that was compressing the right atrium, SVC, henceforth,
TEE helped in guid<span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:;\" \"=\"\">ing</span><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> aspiration and surgical resection of the cystic mass. Therefore, through
this case report, <span>authors emphasize the
importance of performing intraoperative real-time</span> TEE in the mediastinal
mass. This imaging technique helps in visualizing the external compression of
cardio-vascular structure and aid in their management, obviating the
possibility of large vascular structures from being injured by the surgeon
during intraoperative manipulation.</span>
