Benign fibroma of mediastinum. A rare case report
Abstract
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. Masses of the middle
mediastinum are typically congenital
cysts, including foregut and pericardial
cysts, while those that arise in the posterior
mediastinum are often neurogenic
tumors.We report a rare case of benign
fibroma of posterior mediatinum.
