| Abstract: | Aneurysms of the innominate vein are extremely rare. Fifteen such cases have been reported in literature. They may be asymptomatic or may present as a mediastinal mass with compression of adjacent structures or may present with vascular complications like thromboembolism or rupture. We present a case of large innominate vein aneurysm presenting as a mediastinal mass that was surgically excised through a left thoracotomy without use of cardiopulmonary bypass. |
