Abstract:
Mediastinal lesions include a variety of tumors and are of diagnostic challenge to the clinicians. The objective of this study was to review the clinical presentations, diagnostic methods adopted, and treatment offered to the patients with mediastinal lesions.The need for the study is to create awareness of early detection of rare mediastinal tumors because of its varied presentation. Timely diagnosis helps to prevent complications.
