| ==Differential diagnosis of mediastinal mass==
| |
| Wide variety of medical conditions can present as a mediastinal mass on [[Radiology|radiological imaging]].
| |
| * Mediastinal mass may cause [[obstruction]], [[entrapment]] or [[Infiltration (medical)|infiltration]] of other [[Mediastinum|mediastinal organs]] such as: [[Trachea]], [[Bronchus|bronchi]], [[esophagus]], [[aorta]], [[SVC|superior vena cava (SVC)]] or [[heart]].<ref name="pmid27698718">{{cite journal |vauthors=Zardi EM, Pipita ME, Afeltra A |title=Mediastinal syndrome: A report of three cases |journal=Exp Ther Med |volume=12 |issue=4 |pages=2237–2240 |date=October 2016 |pmid=27698718 |pmc=5038184 |doi=10.3892/etm.2016.3596 |url=}}</ref>
| |
| * Disorder caused by any kind of [[mediastinal mass]] is collectively known as: [[Mediastinal syndromes]]
| |
| * '''Mediastinal syndrome''' includes:
| |
| ** Compression of the [[trachea]]: [[Dyspnea]] and [[respiratory insufficiency]].
| |
| ** Compression of the [[esophagus]]: [[Dysphagia]].
| |
| ** Compression of [[SVC]] causes [[superior vena cava syndrome]]: [[Vein]] distention, [[edema]] of the face or [[Upper limb|upper extremities]] and a positive [[Pemberton's sign]].
| |
| *** [[Superior vena cava syndrome]] is the most severe [[Complication (medicine)|complication]] of [[mediastinal syndrome]] and a [[medical emergency]].

| | ==Overview== |
| | |
| | The [[mediastinum]] is a non-delineated group of structures in the thorax (chest), surrounded by loose connective tissue. Since it is the central compartment of the thoracic cavity, and it contains a lot of important structures, it is the site of involvement of various tumors. |
