Abstract
|
|
|
Generally, early sugical extirpation is considered to be beneficial for the treatment of mediastinal tumors and prevention of its complication. The reiew of the clinical course, histopathologic characteristics and current diagnostic and treatment
modalities will help us to decide when to treat and how to treat mediastinal tumors. For this purpose clinical analysis of the 42 patients who were surgically treated from July 1984 to August 1993 in the Chung Ang University Hospital is done in
this
report.
There were 24 males and 18 females(1.3:1), and their age ranged from 1 year to 75 years.
Nonspecific symptoms such as chest pain, cough and dyspnea were the most frequently encountered symptoms. Asymptomatic patients were relatively common(21.4%).(Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1994; 27:379-85)
