The radiographic findings in 9 patients who suffered from a non-myocardiac enlargement of the lower anterior mediastinum are discussed. By means of several diagnostic procedures consisting of radiography, fluoroscopy, roentgen-kymography, angiocardiography and needle-biopsy under visible control it is often possible to distinguish between primary pericardiac lesions and growths of the mediastinum lying in close contact to the heart. In most cases, however, final histological diagnosis will only be reached by thoracotomy with removement of the tumor.
本文讨论了9例下前纵隔非心肌性增大患者的影像学表现。通过包括X线摄影、荧光透视、X线记波摄影、心血管造影和可视控制下的针吸活检等多种诊断程序，通常可以区分原发性心包病变和与心脏紧密相邻的纵隔肿物。然而，在大多数情况下，只有通过开胸切除肿瘤才能获得最终的组织学诊断。
