History and PhysicalExamination Chest pain or dyspnea may be reportedsecondary to associated pleural effusions,cardiac tamponade, or phrenic nerveinvolvement.
Occasionally, hoarseness because of leftrecurrent laryngeal nerve involvement .
Systemic Sx present in 50% of patients anda lymphoproliferative disorder, compared with only 29% of patients with other masses(such as thymic or neurogenic lesions).

Clinical Presentation Effects on Compression or invasion of adjacent tissues Chest pain , from traction on mediastinal mass, tissue
invasion, or bone erosion is common Cough , because of extrinsic compression of the trachea or
bronchi, or erosion into the airway itself Hemoptysis, hoarseness or stridor Pleural effusion, invasion or irritation of pleural space Dysphagia, invasion or direct invasioin of the esophagus Pericarditis or pericardial tamponade Right ventricular outflow obstruction and cor pulmonale

Clinical Presentation Superior vena cava Vulnerable to extrinsic compression and obstruction because it is
thin walled and its intravascular pressure is low, and relativelyconfined by lymph nodes and other rigid structures
Superior vena cava syndrome Results from the increase venous pressure in the upper thorax , headand neck characterized by dilation of the collateral veins in the upper portion
of the head and thorax and edema oand phlethora of the face, neckand upper torso, suffusion and edema of the conjunctiva and cerebralsymptoms such as headache, disturbance of consciousness and visualdistortion
Bronchogenic carcinoma and lymphoma are the mostcommon etiologies

Approach/Discussion: PA and lateral chest films are the first step in
distinguishing from which mediastinal
compartment the mass is arising from. Computed tomography or magnetic resonanceimaging is the next step, better characterizingthe nature and extent of the lesion, thusnarrowing the differential diagnosis. MRI isespecially good at looking for spinal canalinvasion in posterior mediastinal masses
Tissue biopsy is required for definitive diagnosis,and surgical resection for definitive cure.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)levels The thorax should always beinvestigated for the source of ectopicACTH production. A neuroendocrine orcarcinoid tumor of the thorax should beexcluded. These tumors occur in the
mediastinum, particularly in the thymusgland, and in the lung.
Antidiuretic hormone levels : These maybe elevated with some neuroendocrine

ThymomaMost common tumor of the anteriormediastinum.Usually in adults with a median age of 50 years
with no gender preference.40% of patients have PNS such as MG (30%),pure red cell aplasia, or hypogammaglobulinemia(5%-10%).Other PNS, such as SLE, Cushing's syndrome,and SIADH.

Seminomas.Nonseminomatous dysembryomas.Malignant (immature) teratomas
Associated with Klinefelter's syndrome in 8% of
cases and hematologic malignancies.Testing of serum -fetoprotein and ( -HCG) ismandatory

TeratomaThey are well delimited in relation to thesurrounding mediastinal structures and may becystic.
Incidentally discovered. However, they can reach aremarkable size and can give rise to local symptoms.Histologically, mature teratomas consist ofirregularly arranged , well-differentiated adult tissuesof ectodermal, mesodermal and endodermal origin.

TeratomaCT: Well-defined, smooth or lobulated margins.They are encapsulated and display heterogeneousattenuation due to the combination of soft tissue,fluid, fat, and calcific components.They are typically multilobulated cystic tumors with walls of varying thickness. Cough productive of hairor sebum is a pathognomonic sign of rupture into thetracheobronchial tree.

benign forms and are often found toinvade adjacent structures at the time ofdiagnosis.

LymphomaIs a relatively common mediastinal tumor.20% of all mediastinal tumors in adults and50% in children.
They are mostly Hodgkin's lymphomas andseldom are confined only to themediastinum at diagnosis.The most common variants of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas that primarily affectthe anterior mediastinum are large B-celllymphoma and lymphoblastic lymphoma

Bronchogenic CystsResult from abnormal budding of the trachealdiverticulum between the 3 rd &6th wks ofgestation.
5% to 10% of all mediastinal lesions.Usually found adjacent to the tracheobronchialtree but can be also found in the posteriormediastinum or within the lungs.

Pericardial CystsBenign intrathoracic lesions and constitute 7% ofall mediastinal tumors.Typically located at the right cardiophrenic angle
(50%-70%) or at the left cardiophrenic angle(30%-40%), or rarely in other mediastinallocations not adjacent to the diaphragm.Their size varies from a few centimeters to 30
cm.They are usually congenital but may also beacquired after cardiothoracic surgery.

NeuroblastomaHighly malignant.Most common extracranial solid malignancy inpediatric patients.The most common intrathoracic malignancy ofchildhood.
Adrenal gland is a common primary site, but14% of all neuroblastomas arise in the thorax, where the tumors are commonly associated withextension into the spinal canal and osseous
