Possessing experience in the treatment of 314 patients with tumors and cysts of the mediastinum, the authors discuss problems of their diagnosis and surgical treatment. The patients' ages ranged from 7 to 64 years. Tumors were recognized in 216 (68.8%) and cysts in 98 (31.3%) patients. The radiological method, including computed tomography, is the main method for the diagnosis of mediastinal tumors and cysts. The presence of a pathological structure in the mediastinum is an indication for surgery independent of the development of complications. Operations for tumors and cysts of the mediastinum must be carried out in specialized medical institutions because they are complicated surgical interventions.
作者拥有治疗314例纵隔肿瘤和囊肿患者的经验，他们讨论了这些疾病的诊断和手术治疗问题。患者年龄在7岁至64岁之间。216例（68.8%）患者被诊断为肿瘤，98例（31.3%）患者为囊肿。包括计算机断层扫描在内的放射学方法是诊断纵隔肿瘤和囊肿的主要方法。纵隔内存在病理结构是手术的指征，与并发症的发生无关。纵隔肿瘤和囊肿的手术必须在专业医疗机构进行，因为它们是复杂的外科手术。
