A review is presented of the radiological and surgical procedures used for diagnosing mediastinal masses. The radiological examinations evaluate the size, shape and site of the mediastinal lesion, whereas the surgical methods provide tissue diagnosis. Fine needle aspiration biopsy which is an invasive radiological procedure has the advantage of obtaining cytological diagnosis. The method is described and the results of 56 biopsies in 38 patients are discussed in detail. The success rate is 76% and increasing steadily as further experience is gained. The complications are of a light nature and with the exception of one patient no treatment was necessary.
本文综述了用于诊断纵隔肿块的放射学和外科手术方法。放射学检查评估纵隔病变的大小、形状和部位，而手术方法则提供组织诊断。细针穿刺活检是一种侵入性放射学检查方法，具有获得细胞学诊断的优势。本文描述了该方法，并详细讨论了38例患者56次活检的结果。成功率为76%，随着经验的积累，成功率在稳步提高。并发症性质较轻，除1例患者外，无需治疗。
