Acute mediastinitis, mediastinal granuloma, and chronic fibrosing mediastinitis: A review
Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2022Acute mediastinitis is a rare infection that carries high morbidity and mortality. They are complications seen most often with deep sternal wound infections from surgeries with median sternotomies, oropharyngeal and odontogenic infections and esophageal perforations. These conditions should be promptly recognized and treated. Mediastinal granulomas are

Mediastinal Granuloma and Fibrosing Mediastinitis
Chest, 1979Thirty-one patients with mediastinal granuloma and fibrosing mediastinitis were seen at the Mayo Clinic from 1975 through 1977. Review of this series reveals that surgery is necessary to establish a diagnosis if the lesions are noncalcified and indeterminate.

Mediastinitis is defined as acute or chronic inflammation of the mediastinal structures and generally has a low incidence. The most frequent acute cause is sternotomy following cardiac revascularization surgery with both internal mammary arteries, with an incidence of 0.4% to 5% and a mortality of 16.5% to 47%.

Tumori Journal, 2004
The authors report a rare case of primary chondrosarcoma of the anterior mediastinum showing unusual pathological and clinical features, namely 1) the lack of any anatomical relationship between the tumor and cartilage-containing organs, and 2) an indolent behavior with long-term survival.

Mediastinal drainage in descending necrotizing mediastinitis
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2013Descending necrotizing mediastinitis has been thoroughly described in the past, but we could not find a detailed description of the technique to perform adequate drainage and lavage of all the mediastinal and thoracic spaces. We describe the procedure as we perform it, emphasizing the sites for incision and proper drainage of all the mediastinal ...

Mediastinal teratoma complicated with acute mediastinitis
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2010We report a case of a mediastinal teratoma associated with acute mediastinitis that required an emergency operation. These tumors cause a variety of complications, but reports of acute mediastinitis are rare. A 24-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for complaints of chest pain and fever and was subsequently diagnosed as having an anterior ...

The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 1979
A case of meningioma appearing to arise from the stellate ganglion and associated with a unilateral Horner syndrome of long standing is presented. Clinical absence of central nervous system involvement and a normal computerized tomographic scan of the brain favor the neoplasm as being a primary extracranial meningioma.

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001
Mediastinal tumors are comprised of various benign and malignant neoplasms that share the same anatomic location within the thorax. The mediastinum is traditionally divided into three compartments: the anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinum. This division, based on lateral chest radiographs, helps clinicians establish appropriate differential ...

Mediastinal hemangiopericytoma
Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2009AbstractMediastinal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) was diagnosed in a 3‐year‐old female. The incidence of this tumor is rare in children, and few data are available to guide clinical management. The surgical resection was incomplete and she received adjuvant radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

Cancer, 1980
A series of malignant seminomas of the mediastinum is presented and compared with previously reported series. The difficulty of conclusively excluding occult primary gonadal disease is noted. Primary mediastinal seminomas are associated with a better prognosis than teratomas of this site, mainly because of their radiosensitivity.
