  Thyroid mass mediastinal – a benign growth such as a goiter. These masses may develop into cancer. Middle mediastinal tumors include: Bronchogenic cysts - a disease in the respiratory system. Lymphadenopathy mediastinal - disease in the lymph nodes. [cedars-sinai.edu]

  In 1888, Hare 1 collected 520 cases of mediastinal disease, over 50 per cent of which were due to tumors, mostly of the malignant type. [jamanetwork.com]

  Many mediastinal diseases are treated clinically, such as lymphomas, or are clearly not resectable, such as metastatic neoplasias; therefore, the hystopathological diagnosis is obviously essential for these patients. [scielo.br]

  If arising from the muscles of head and neck, an asymptomatic firm swelling is apparent. Orbital tumors often cause pain and swelling about the eye with proptosis and diplopia. [intranet.tdmu.edu.ua]

There were 144 cases having abnormal mediastinal lesions detected on initial diagnostic workup on the chest radiology. [lungindia.com]

Follow-up of the patient includes clinical examination, chest radiographs, computed tomography, and metastatic workup every 6 to 12 months [10] and should be monitored closely for 10 years or less after primary diagnosis. > Conclusions This case report [cancerjournal.net]

In many cases, no further workup is needed for diagnosis. Characterization of the mass on the CT scan is based on specific attenuation of water, air, fat, calcium, soft tissue, and vascular structures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Mediastinal Mass

  The variation in these imaging findings played an important role in the differential diagnosis of this uncommon mediastinal mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Here we describe two patients with neoplastic anterior mediastinal masses associated with GD, illustrating that this may not be safe approach to all patients with anterior mediastinal masses and GD. [thyroidresearchjournal.biomedcentral.com]

  Many mediastinal masses are asymptomatic and are an incidental finding on chest radiographs. Over 50% of pediatric mediastinal masses are malignant and as a result need to be investigated thoroughly. [learn.pediatrics.ubc.ca]

Your doctor will tailor your treatment to your type of mediastinal tumor. Talk to your doctor to get more accurate information about your prognosis. [healthline.com]

For lymphomas, chemotherapy is the treatment of choice, and is possibly followed by radiation. For neurogenic tumors of the posterior mediastinum, surgery is the main treatment. The outcome depends on the type of tumor. [nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis after resection of a mediastinal tumor varies widely depending on the type of lesion resected. After resection of mediastinal cysts and benign tumors, the prognosis is generally excellent. [emedicine.medscape.com]

What is the Overall Prognosis and Survival Rate of Mediastinal Tumor? The prognosis of Mediastinal Tumors depends on the location of the tumors and whether they are benign or malignant. [epainassist.com]

Therapy in stage I tumors consists of surgical resection with good prognosis. Stage II-III requires maximal resection possible followed by radiation. [en.wikipedia.org]

Additional diagnostic testing, usually imaging and biopsy, is indicated to determine etiology. CT with IV contrast is the most valuable imaging technique. [msdmanuals.com]

Although our team decided that it was more likely to obtain the etiology of the lung micronodules by histo-pathological analysis from nodule resection using tho-racic surgery, the patient refused the procedure. [pneumologia.eu]

Mediastinal masses in children are often symptomatic and can have a varied symptomatology and etiology. The most common symptoms at presentation are dyspnea, cough, fever, aching pain and general malaise. [learn.pediatrics.ubc.ca]

Etiology Neurogenic tumors of the mediastinum arise from cells of the nerve sheath, paraganglionic tissue, and autonomic ganglia, all of which originate embryonically from the neural crest. [emedicine.medscape.com]

This in turn has clarified the classification and thus the epidemiology of tumours of the mediastinum, and modern radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery has led to improved survival of patients at risk. [books.google.com]
