    Abstract:
    The age peak of neurogenic tumors of the mediastinum in children is from 2 to 7 years, malignant tumors being more frequently observed at the age before 2 years, benign tumors after 2 years of age. The method of choice in treatment of benign neurogenic tumors is operation. The selection of the method for treatment of malignant tumors depends on the stage of the disease: operative treatment is necessary for the I-II stages, the III-IV stages are better treated by radiation therapy and polychemotherapy. The survival of patients with mediastinum neuroblastomas made up 61.1%.
