Two cases of 'sabre sheath' trachea in combination with mediastinal lipomatosis are reported. The initial chest radiographs in both cases were interpreted as showing a mediastinal tumour causing tracheal compression. The correct diagnosis was subsequently made using computed tomography (CT). It is important to be aware of these benign conditions when interpreting chest radiographs, particularly in cases of suspected mediastinal pathology.
报告了两例“剑鞘样”气管合并纵隔脂肪增多症的病例。两例患者最初的胸部X光片均被解读为显示纵隔肿瘤导致气管受压。随后通过计算机断层扫描(CT)做出了正确诊断。在解读胸部X光片时,尤其是怀疑纵隔病变的情况下,了解这些良性疾病很重要。
