  • Title: Imaging of mediastinal masses in children.
    Author: Meza MP, Benson M, Slovis TL.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 1993 May; 31(3):583-604. PubMed ID: 8497592.
    Abstract:
    Conventional radiographs show the mediastinum to be the most frequent location of thoracic masses in children. The compartmental approach to evaluation of pediatric mediastinal masses is advised. Compartmental localization and lesion internal characteristics are best determined by cross-sectional imaging techniques. These techniques as well as the causes and significance of the common pediatric mediastinal masses are discussed. Imaging of the thymus is emphasized because normal thymic tissue can mimic pathologic conditions and the thymus is a common thoracic location for neoplasms in children.
