GUIDELINES
Whenever you see a mass on a chest x-ray that is
possibly located within the mediastinum, your
goal is to determine the following:
 Is it a mediastinal mass?
 Is it in the anterior, middle or posterior
mediastinum?
 Are you able to characterize the lesion by
determining whether it has any fatty, fluid or
vascular components?
Statistically, it is important to remember the
following:
Most masses (> 60%) are:
 Thymomas
 Neurogenic Tumors
 Benign Cysts
 Lymphadenopathy (LAD)
 In children the most common (> 80%) are:
 Neurogenic tumors
 Germ cell tumors
 In adults the most common are:


Lymphomas
LAD
Thymomas
Thyroid masses
Localize to the mediastinum
Left. A lung mass abutts the mediastinal surface and creates
acute angles with the lung.
Right. A mediastinal mass will sit under the surface of the
mediastinum, creating obtuse angles with the lung.
Localize within the mediastinum
 The mediastinum can be divided into
anterior, middle and posterior
compartments.
It is important to remember that there is no
tissue plane separating these compartments.
 On the lateral radiograph the anterior and
middle compartments can be separated by
drawing an imaginary line anterior to the
trachea and posteriorly to the inferior vena
cava.
 The middle and posterior compartments can
be separated by an imaginary line passing 1
cm posteriorly to the anterior border of the
vertebral bodies.
This division allows us to make a more
narrow differential diagnosis.
On the PA film there is a lobulated widening of the superior
mediastinum.
On the lateral chest film the retrosternal clear space is obliterated.
This happened to be a patient with lymphoma.
FDG-PET images of the same patient.
There are multiple lymphatic masses in the anterior, middle and
even posterior mediastinum, spreading to the neck.
On the chest film there is a mass that has obtuse angles with
the mediastinum, so it is a mediastinal mass.
The anterior location was confirmed on a CT.
Most commonly this will be a mass of thymic or lymphatic
origin.
This proved to be a lymphoma in a HIV-positive patient.
Substernal parathyroid adenoma
CT revealed an encapsulated mass of 3 cm in the upper
anterior mediastinum behind the sternum-clavicular joints,
with marked peripheral enhancement (arrow).

Tc-99m-sestamibi substraction image showed an area of intense uptake
below the inferior pole of the left thyroid lobe, in the upper
mediastinum, in the left median position and normal thyroid with
homogenous radiopharmaceutical uptake (arrow)
Cystic masses
The anterior mediastinum is an important location for
cystic masses.
Masses can be entirely cystic (thymic cysts) or have solid
components (lymphoma or cystic thymoma).
Some masses are cystic with enhancing septations - in
these cases you should think of a germ cell tumor.
The CT shows an anterior mediastinal mass with
water density attenuation.
This is typical for a thymic cyst.
The CT shows a mass located in the anterior mediastinum.
The mass is cystic but has solid enhancing septa.
This finding is very specific for a germ cell tumor.
The CT shows a mass located in the anterior mediastinum.
The mass is cystic but has solid enhancing components, so
? lymphoma, germ cell tumor and cystic thymoma.
This proved to be a cystic thymoma.

Reversed-T Upper Mini-Sternotomy for
Extended Thymectomy in Myasthenic Patients
The reversed-T upper mini-sternotomy
provides an exposure of the mediastinum
that allows us to perform a complete
resection of the thymus and of all the
anterior mediastinal fatty tissue.
Reversed-T Upper Mini-Sternotomy for Extended
Thymectomy in Myasthenic Patients
Technique
 The patient is positioned as for the standard sternotomy.
 An 8- to 10-cm midline skin incision is performed starting
about 1 cm under the jugulum, then the sternum is divided
up to the third intercostal space.
 At this level, the sternum is transversely transected by
means of an oscillating saw .
 A Finocchietto-like pediatric retractor is positioned to
spread the sternum.
 The resection starts from the fat of the inferior
mediastinum. This step can easily be accomplished putting a
hand-held retractor under the sternum and lifting it.
Technique
 The anterior mediastinal fat is removed beginning from the

diaphragm going upward.
Then, the gland is elevated toward the brachiocephalic
trunk, and the draining veins and the thymic branches of
internal mammary artery are ligated.
The cervical horns of each lobe are resected by a blunt
dissection.
At the end of the procedure, a 20F drain is placed in the
retrosternal space through a subxiphoid incision, if the
pleurae was not opened, otherwise in an intercostal space.
The horizontal and vertical sternal edges are wired together
with separate wires.
A subcuticular suture is used for skin closure.
An en bloc resection of the thymus and
mediastinal fat performed through the
mini-sternotomy.
Mediastinal approach
 The reversed-T upper ministernotomy is
a minimally invasive approach that
results in a less operative trauma to the
chest structure and function than a full
sternotomy.
Rationale
Considering that myasthenic patients with
generalized symptoms may have or develop
respiratory muscle weakness leading to
impaired lung expansion, saving the integrity
of the lower part of the chest may further
decrease the incidence of respiratory failure
requiring mechanical ventilation.
Arguments
In this approach, the sternum is divided to the
third intercostal space and there is no need to
ligate the internal mammary arteries.
Patients who may later require coronary artery
bypass in their future will benefit from the
presence of the mammary arteries.
Last, but not least, in case of thymic tumor or
bleeding, the skin as well as the sternum incision
can be easily extended to a complete median
sternotomy.
