説明

From 1962 to 1993 mediastinal tumor was diagnosed in 242 patients in our institute, we studied 83 of them (34.3%) with a histopathologic diagnosis of “cystic tumor”.<BR>The majority (about 80%) were cystic teratoma, congenital cyst or thymic cyst. Only 2 cases (2.4%) were diagnosed as malignant, both were cystoadenocarcinomas arising in the posterior mediastinum.<BR>Thirty percent of the patients had symptoms mainly chest pain, and the others were asymptomatic, but had abnormal routine chest Roentgenograms. The lager tumors such as teratoma and mesenchymal tumors tended to cause symptoms.<BR>For the diagnosis of cystic tumor, MRI was more accurate (90%) than CT scan (67.6%). Tumor markers in the cyst fluid were measured. Some selected tumors showed a non-specific high level of certain markers, such as CEA or CA19-9.
