Sclerosing Mediastinitis (SM) is a rare condition which is characterized by the
presence of dense fibrosis which infiltrates and encroaches upon various
structures in the mediastinal cavity. Depending on the extent and the predominant
organ of involvement, the patient presents with symptomatology of dysphagia,
superior vena cava compression syndrome or dyspnoea. However, the involvement of
the heart is rarely seen. Aetiologies of SM are several, with infections being
the most common. We discuss a case of SM involving the oesophagus, descending
aorta, hilum of lungs and the heart secondary to mucormycosis in an
immunocompetent male.
