AB  - Primary  lesions  of  the  mediastinum  are  less  common  than  lesions  that  secondarily  involve  the  mediastinum.  Overall,  the  majority  of  masses  discovered  in  the  mediastinum  will  be  found  to  be  metastases  from  a  primary  lung  cancer.  Neoplasms  that  arise  primarily  in  the  mediastinum,  however,  are  often  encountered  in  the  clinic  and  are  represented  by  a  variety  of  lesions.  This  chapter  first  reviews  the  anatomy  of  the  mediastinum  and  then  focuses  on  the  benign  and  malignant  neoplasms  that  arise  within  each  of  the  anatomic  regions  of  the  mediastinum.  Covered  elsewhere  in  this  textbook  are  nonneoplastic  disorders  of  the  mediastinum  that  include  pneumomediastinum,  acute  mediastinitis,  chronic  mediastinitis,  and  other  miscellaneous  disorders  (Chapter  80);  as  well  as  congenital  lesions  of  the  mediastinum—which  are  nearly  always  benign—such  as  bronchogenic,  enterogenous,  neurogenic,  thymic,  pericardial,  and  thoracic  duct  cysts  (Chapter  81).
