Systemic Symptoms

Mediastinal masses are most conveniently categorized by their anatomical site in the anterior, middle, or posterior mediastinum. Most present as a radiographic abnormality alone, or in association with symptoms arising from compression of other mediastinal structures. Systemic symptoms such as fever or weight loss are more likely with malignant tumours such as lymphomas or thymomas. Detailed knowledge of normal mediastinal anatomy is a prerequisite to the interpretation of both normal and abnormal chest radiographs. Lymph nodes are present in all three compartments thereby knowledge of their anatomical relationships, together with sites of drainage, is important when interpreting radiographic mediastinal enlargement. The most important group of visceral nodes lie in the middle mediastinum and are predominantly subcarinal and paratracheal. Bronchopulmonary and hilar nodes are numerous but not visible radiographically unless pathologically enlarged.

Mediastinal cysts are fluid-filled lesions surrounded by a thin wall with an epithelial lining. These cysts are typically congenital, account for approximately 15-20% of all mediastinal masses, and may be found in any mediastinal compartment. Although mediastinal cysts may be initially detected on chest radiography, these lesions are optimally evaluated with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cysts typically manifest as well-circumscribed, spherical lesions of water attenuation or signal, buy may appear heterogeneous when complicated by hemorrhage or infection. A focused differential diagnosis may be generated based on lesion location. For instance, bronchogenic cysts are most common in the middle mediastinum and pericardial cysts are typically found in the right cardiophrenic angle. Other mediastinal cysts include esophageal duplication and neurenteric cyst. Although meningocele is not a true cyst, it exhibits a cystic appearance on imaging.
