Dr. Amol Gorakhnath Sasane, Brig. Dr. Hariqbal Singh
Abstract :
This prospective study was conducted on total 60 patients suspected to have mediastinal mass were evaluated with computed tomography (CT) and chest radiographs and subsequent surgical, histopathological correlation and histopathological confirmation with FNAC or Biopsy of the lesion. The accuracy of CT for diagnosing vascular, lymphatic, cystic and nerve sheath masses was 100%. The accuracy of Chest Radiographs for diagnosing vascular, lymphatic, cystic and nerve sheath masses was 91.5%, 50.66%,100% and 87.5% respectively. CT was successful in a higher proportion of cases in detecting the cause of mediastinal widening and the nature of mediastinal masses, than Chest Radiographs. It also proved to be accurate in localizing and characterizing mediastinal masses. It is recommended that all patients with mediastinal masses should be subjected to Computed Tomography.
