  • Title: Mediastinal tumors and cysts in the pediatric population.
    Author: Wright CD.
    Journal: Thorac Surg Clin; 2009 Feb; 19(1):47-61, vi. PubMed ID: 19288820.
    Abstract:
    Pediatric mediastinal tumors and cysts are rare disorders that share many similarities with adults, yet which have important differences unique to the child. Posterior mediastinal tumors are relatively more common in children than in adults and are also more likely to be malignant in children. CT imaging facilitates the diagnostic evaluation of mediastinal masses in children. Airway compression is always a concern with large mediastinal tumors in children given their relative softer and smaller airway.
