Sclerosing mediastinitis is a rare condition thought to result from many etiologies, an abnormal immunologic response to histoplasmosis being the most prominent one in the United States (Table 2). [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Note that this is not necessarily a complete list of etiologies. For example, giant cell arteritis (GCA) can cause arterial stenosis leading to limb pain; however, it may only have "limb pain", and not arterial stenosis, in its symptoms list. [doclogica.com]

The etiology of sclerosing mediastinitis is varied. Major causes have included infection (Histoplasma capsulatum, other fungi, tuberculosis), sarcoidosis, and trauma and may also be idiopathic. [humpath.com]

Further (epidemiological) studies should confirm these preliminary conclusions. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]
