Giant cell tumour of soft tissue (GCT-ST) particularly in posterior mediastnum is a very rare tumour. A seventeen year female who presented with superior vanacaval syndrome had a posterior mediastninal S.O.L. Thoracotomy was done and the mass was excised.

This study highlights rarity of the lesion and draws attention of its uneventful clinical course after complete excision. Keywords:GCT-ST –Giant Cell TumourOf Soft Tissue, Mediastinum.
