ABSTRACT
A retrospective review of 16 patients operated upon for primary mediastinal tumours was carried out. Anterior mediastinal tumours seen included retrosternal goitre (2), benign cystic teratoma (1), benign thymoma (1), malignant thymoma, spindle cell type (1) and Hodgkin's lymphoma, nodular sclerosing type (1). Mid-mediastinal tumours included bronchial cyst (1), mediastinal granuloma (1), and pulmonary arterio-venous fistula (1). Neurilemmoma (2), neuroblastoma (1), ganglioneuroma (1), Askin tumour (1), neurofibroma (1) and benign histiocytoma (1) constituted the tumours of the posterior mediastinum. The tumours were successfully resected with minimal operative morbidity and no mortality.
