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.

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.

Knowledge of the anatomy of the mediastinal nerves is essential for the evaluation and surgical treatment of most thoracic neoplasms. Thorough knowledge of the normal anatomy of the mediastinal nerves and of their variants cannot be overestimated because nerve trauma during nerve anatomy is also important because mediastinal or lung tumors can locally ...

Roentgenology of the Mediastinum
Postgraduate Medicine, 1966Properly exposed simple roentgenograms are useful in detecting and assessing mediastinal disease. Because the physical densities of the lungs and the mediastinum differ, minimal requirements for examination of the chest, even for routine survey purposes, are a suitably exposed frontal projection for evaluation of the lateral two-thirds of the lungs ...

Lipoleiomyosarcoma of the mediastinum
Pathology, 1997A case is described of a mediastinal soft tissue sarcoma, in a 76-year-old man, characterized microscopically by the intimate combined features of liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. The lipomatous component consisted of well differentiated liposarcoma with myxoid areas.

The American Journal of Surgery, 1962
Abstract A case of successful surgical removal of benign mediastinal hemangioma in an infant is reported. Since these tumors cannot be differentiated from other mediastinal tumors, early exploratory operation is advisable. The size, shape and position of hemangiomata are not diagnostic, and the normal aids to diagnosis are not exceedingly helpful ...
