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 ...

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 ...

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2011
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 ...

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.

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.

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

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1987
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.

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 ...
