Abstract :

A wide variety of tumors arise in the Mediastinum affecting people of all ages. Most of these tumors present asymptomatically as incidentallomas picked up on routine radiological investigation but many of them produce specific or nonspecific clinical features. We aim to study the incidence, clinical features, pathological types, surgical modalities and treatment outcome of 224 cases of mediastinal tumors operated consecutively over a period of 9 years in our center. The results were analysed and compared with the data available in the literature.
