Overview of mediastinal tumor

The mediastinum is the part of the chest between the sternum and the spinal column, and between the lungs. It is divided into three sections: anterior, middle and posterior. Lymphomas and thymomas are the most common mediastinal tumors in adults. Early mediastinal tumor does not have any symptoms. As the tumor grows larger, people may notice one or more of the following symptoms: chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, hoarseness, shortness of breath, chills and fever, night sweats.
