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.

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 ...

Ultrastructural Pathology, 1991
The purpose of this clinicopathologic overview is to describe the types of lymphomas that present in the mediastinum. A comparison of the frequency of the different subtypes of lymphoma that are found in children and adults is provided. In general, immunohistochemistry and immunophenotyping studies are essential to the laboratory workup of neoplasms ...

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 ...

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

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2009
Patients diagnosed with stage IIIA lung cancer because of N2 positive disease are generally considered to have a short survival. However, recent studies have shown that patients who are downstaged via neoadjuvant therapy and subsequently undergo resection may have a significant increased 5-year survival rate (as high as 40-50%) when compared with ...

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.

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.
