ABSTRACT

Large mediastinal masses increase the risks associated with general anesthesia. The most feared complications in this type of patients are the collapse of the airway, leading to cardiovascular collapse. We present the case of a 30-year-old patient diagnosed with synovial sarcoma with pulmonary metastasis, with the presence of two intrathoracic tumors. The objective of the clinical case is to review the anesthetic implications and their management in this group of patients.
