Chemodectoma of the Mediastinum
Archives of Surgery, 1963In 1950, the term "chemodectoma" was proposed as the generic name for tumors arising from the nonchromaffin neuroepithelial cells located in the adventitia of blood vessels derived from the branchial arches. The ganglia of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves are also sites of the neoplasms.1-3 These cell aggregates have neither endocrine nor motor ...

Lymphangiohemangioma of the Mediastinum
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997Lymphangiohemangiomas of the mediastinum are exceedingly rare. Clinically they tend to behave like lymphangiomas. We report 3 new cases. All 3 cases showed both lymphatic and vascular components. One case was associated with a left superior vena cava.

Fibrosarcoma of the mediastinum
Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1979AbstractFibrosarcoma is a rare primary malignant tumor of the mediastinum. Three cases are presented with different presenting symptoms and clinical manifestations. Thoracotomy with biopsy of the mass is the only method for arriving at a definitive histologic diagnosis.

Myelolipoma of the Mediastinum
Radiology, 1960Myelolipomas are uncommon tumor-like masses composed of heterotopic bone marrow and adipose tissue. They are incidental findings, and their pathological significance is obscure. While they usually occur in the adrenal glands, a few cases have been reported in other parts of the body, mainly in the retroperitoneal area but occasionally also in the chest

Chest, 2005
Tumors of the mediastinum represent a wide diversity of disease states. The location and composition of a mass is critical to narrowing the differential diagnosis. The most common causes of an anterior mediastinal mass include the following: thymoma; teratoma; thyroid disease; and lymphoma.

Mediastinal teratomas are rare, constituting only 8-13% of tumours in this region. Teratomas often contain structures from all three germ layers, and 15-20% are malignant. A report is presented of eight patients operated on in 1978-1985 for mediastinal teratoma histologically classified as benign.

Fibrosarcoma of the Mediastinum
Diseases of the Chest, 19551 A brief review of the literature on mediastinal tumors is offered, with special attention to fibrosarcoma of the mediastinum. 2 Three unusual cases of mediastinal fibrosarcoma are reported. 3 Two of these showed a remarkable degree of mediastinal compression. Superior vena cava obstruction was extreme and pulmonary insufficiency intractable.

Pseudotumor of the Mediastinum
Chest, 1973The case of a mass in the mediastinum which occurred following surgery and irradiation at the site of previously excised thymoma is presented. This mass proved to be a pseudotumor consisting of fibrous tissue without evidence of tumor recurrence.

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2009
Infections of the mediastinum (ie, mediastinitis) are serious, are associated with high morbidity and mortality, and may result from adjacent disease with direct extension, hematogenous spread, or direct introduction into the mediastinal space. The organs and tissues involved determine the manifestations and approach to treatment of these infections ...

Leiomyosarcoma of the mediastinum
British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1975A case of leiomyosarcoma of the posterior mediastinum is presented; 2 other malignant and 7 benign smooth muscle tumours of the mediastinum have been collected from the literautre. The tendency for blood-borne and local recurrence in the leiomyosarcomas is demonstrated. Various theories for the origin of these tumours are examined.
