The mediastinum is defined as the space formed ventrally by the sternum, dorsally by the spine, and laterally by the mediastinal pleura. A mediastinal mass is frequently an incidental finding. The wide spectrum of underlying diseases and the anatomic proximity to central structures makes diagnosis and treatment challenging. In many cases, the combination of anamnesis, physical examination, imaging and laboratory tests already provides valuable information about the tumor entity. In addition to diagnostic procedures for histological examination of an unclear mediastinal tumor, radical resection is very important for the prognosis of the patients, especially in the case of tumors of the thymus. Multimodal treatment of advanced tumors that involve adjacent structures is best performed in designated centers.
