Mesenchymal tumors of the mediastinum: analysis of the clinical case

Abstract

Mediastinal tumors include a wide range of benign and malignant neoplasms. The latter in the early stages are characterized by a long latent course and carry a significant threat of com pression and / or invasion of vital organs of the mediastinum. The complexity of their diagnosis is complemented by a mixed clinical picture, similar to other somatic diseases. Considering all of the above, mediastinal tumors are an urgent problem for the modem oncological community, they require improving knowledge and gaining experience in their surgical and conservative treatment. Mesenchym al tumors of the mediastinum make up a small part of tumors of the mediastinal space, and the low incidence of neoplasm s of this anatomical localization dictates the need for an interdisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of mesenchym al tumors of the mediastinal space. A clinical case of the disease is considered, an effective and radical surgical treatment method is demonstrated. The asymptomatic course of the early stages of the disease, as w ell as the relatively low effectiveness of surgical intervention in the late period of oncogenesis, dictates the need to search for new approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal tumors.
