Mediastinal tumors are comprised of various benign and malignant neoplasms that share the same anatomic location within the thorax. The mediastinum is traditionally divided into three compartments: the anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinum. This division, based on lateral chest radiographs, helps clinicians establish appropriate differential diagnoses and plan further imaging, diagnostic, and treatment strategies. With the continued and complex advances in imaging, medical treatment, and surgery, we recommend a multidisciplinary approach to the management of mediastinal tumors. This discussion is intended to guide the pulmonary specialist through this potentially complex approach.
纵隔肿瘤由多种良性和恶性肿瘤组成，它们在胸腔内具有相同的解剖位置。传统上，纵隔分为三个区域：前纵隔、中纵隔和后纵隔。这种基于胸部侧位X线片的划分有助于临床医生建立适当的鉴别诊断，并规划进一步的影像学、诊断和治疗策略。随着影像学、药物治疗和手术的持续复杂进展，我们建议采用多学科方法来管理纵隔肿瘤。本讨论旨在指导肺部专科医生应对这种可能复杂的方法。
