Acute mediastinitis, mediastinal granuloma, and chronic fibrosing mediastinitis: A review

Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2022
Acute 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 Mediastinal Fibrosis

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2002
Mediastinal granuloma/mediastinal fibrosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the mediastinum. Mediastinal granuloma is the abnormal enlargment of mediastinal lymph nodes by granulomatous inflammation, is usually asyptomatic or minimally symptomatic, and is often detected on chest radiographs taken for other reasons. In contrast, mediastinal fibrosis

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2010
We 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 ...

Mediastinal drainage in descending necrotizing mediastinitis

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2013
Descending 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 chondrohamartoma

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1987
Chondromatous hamartomas of the lung are usually intraparenchymal and are rarely located in the bronchial lumen. Mediastinal chondrohamartomas are rare. A case is reported in which the close relationship with the esophagus suggests that this tumor is a choristoma rather than a hamartoma. To our knowledge, such a theory has not been previously proposed.
