One hundred and fifty-eight cases of mediastinal tumors have been studied clinicopathologically, based on patients of Nagasaki University Hospital from 1961 to 1984. Of these tumors, 29.7% were thymic tumors, 23.4% neurogenic tumors, and 21.5% were germ cell tumors, the frequencies of which reflected the same tendency as other such reports in Japan. Thirty-three cases were malignant tumors. Among them, thymomas were the most common (48.5%) as Wada et al. have reported. Extrathoracic metastases have observed in 2 thymomas. Thymomas associated with myasthenia gravis were seen in 6 cases in which 5 patients are still alive.
基于长崎大学医院1961年至1984年的患者，对158例纵隔肿瘤进行了临床病理研究。在这些肿瘤中，29.7%为胸腺瘤，23.4%为神经源性肿瘤，21.5%为生殖细胞肿瘤，其发生率反映出与日本其他此类报告相同的趋势。33例为恶性肿瘤。其中，胸腺瘤最为常见（48.5%），如和田等人所报告。2例胸腺瘤出现了胸外转移。6例胸腺瘤伴有重症肌无力，其中5例患者仍然存活。
