Neurogenous neoplasms of the mediastinum

Neoplasms of the Mediastinum

Neoplasms of vascular origin in the mediastinum.

INCIDENCE Seybold, McDonald, Clagett, and Harrington (1949) made the f i s t collective review of these tumours, in which they mainly discussed their pathology. They could find only 14 cases, to which they added 3 more cases from the Mayo Clinic. The real incidence of these neoplasms in relation to other mediastinal masses is very difficult to estimate. However, the widening scope of thoracic s...

Neurogenous Tumors of the Mediastinum: a Clinicopathologic Study Based on 50 Cases.

Neurogenous hyperplasia in the oesophagus.

Leiomyoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumours take first place among mesenchymal tumours of the oesophagus, where tumours of peripheral nerve origin are rarely seen. Schwann and enterochromaffi n cell proliferation occur in neurogenous hyperplasia, an entity observed in the appendix which has not been reported in the oesophagus in the medical literature. Oesophagogastroscopy of a 58-year-old w...

Imaging of the Mediastinum

Mediastinal masses can be benign cysts, neurogenic tumors, germ cell neoplasms, thymomas or lymphomas. The mediastinum is demarcated by the pleural cavities laterally. Superior to the mediastinum, you find the thoracic inlet. The mediastinum is usually divided into three main compartments, anterior, middle and posterior. This anatomical classification of the mediastinum is useful for the radiol...
