Chest CT imaging showed pulmonary edema, pleural effusions, and a middle mediastinum soft-tissue mass of 4.2 2.5cm. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Computed tomography (CT) image of the chest demonstrating well-demarcated soft tissue mass in superoanterior mediastinal mass (arrow). Figure 3. [thoracic.org]

Lymphoma Lymphoma presents as a soft tissue mass with widening of mediastinum, which is often revealed on conventional radiographs. An anterior or middle mediastinal location is more common than posterior. [jaocr.org]

A 3-month-old boy presented with history of low grade intermittent fever, cough and noisy breathing for 2 weeks. A chest X-ray showed massive mediastinal widening. Biopsy of the mass confirmed LCH. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract AL amyloidosis presenting as a solitary mediastinal mass is a rare occurrence, with only a few cases reported in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 3-month-old boy presented with history of low grade intermittent fever, cough and noisy breathing for 2 weeks. A chest X-ray showed massive mediastinal widening. Biopsy of the mass confirmed LCH. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CC: 3 weeks of chest pain and dry cough ID: 56 yo female with migraines and uterine cyst presents with sharp, non-exertional chest pain and dry cough for the past 3 weeks. She was found to have a mediastinal mass on CXR and 6% peripheral blasts. [uscmedicine.blog]

A 32-year-old man with a 20-year history of smoking presented with a 1-month history of nonproductive cough at night, dyspnea, left thoracic pain, and an involuntary weight loss of 7 kg (15 lb). [nejm.org]

A mediastinal mass may also result in a compression of the superior vena cava (superior vena cava syndrome), Horner’s syndrome, or hoarseness (due to compression of left laryngeal nerve). [learn.pediatrics.ubc.ca]

Signs & Symptoms Hemoptysis, recurrent pulmonary infection (airway compression) Dysphagia (esophageal compression) Paralysis (spinal column involvement) Elevated hemidiaphragm (phrenic nerve damage) Hoarseness (recurrent laryngeal involvement) Horner’ [slideshare.net]

Other symptoms may include: Persistent cough Shortness of breath or wheezing Fever or night sweats Difficulty swallowing or hoarseness Unexplained weight loss In addition to an X-ray or CAT scan, masses are diagnosed using a scope to look inside the chest [swedish.org]

Symptoms begin when the mass begins pressing on the surrounding areas, causing discomfort and a combination of the following: Chills and fever Cough (and/or coughing up blood) Shortness of breath Pain in the chest Hoarseness of the voice Wheezing Swollen [loyolamedicine.org]

Mediastinal diseases are conditions that arise from tissues in this cavity. [utswmedicine.org]

Lymphadenopathy mediastinal - disease in the lymph nodes. Pericardial cysts which include growths that start in the lining of the heart. Tracheal tumors. Posterior mediastinal tumors include: Lymphadenopathy mediastinal - disease of the lymph nodes. [cedars-sinai.edu]

Imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis, staging and follow-up of mediastinal disease. [link.springer.com]

The chest CT is the most widely used imaging examination for mediastinal disease. For thymic cysts, the chest CT can describe the shape, contour, CT value, relationship to adjacent tissue, and the contrast-enhanced CT appearance. [ctisus.com]

Respiratory symptoms and dysphagia can occur due to bronchial and esophageal obstruction respectively. [learn.pediatrics.ubc.ca]

In children, there is history of cough, dyspnoea, dysphagia and frequent chest infections whereas adults present with chest pain or dysphagia. [ijaweb.org]

Signs & Symptoms Hemoptysis, recurrent pulmonary infection (airway compression) Dysphagia (esophageal compression) Paralysis (spinal column involvement) Elevated hemidiaphragm (phrenic nerve damage) Hoarseness (recurrent laryngeal involvement) Horner’ [slideshare.net]

Occasionally, mediastinal tumors cause nonspecific symptoms related to the compression/invasion of adjacent anatomical structures (chest pain, cough, dyspnea, dysphagia, superior vena cava syndrome, etc.). [scielo.br]

Lesions in the posterior mediastinum may encroach on the esophagus, causing dysphagia or odynophagia. [msdmanuals.com]
