dc.description.abstractMediastinal masses are important because they are adjacent to vital structures and have various histopathologic types. In this study, the cases with mediastinal masses which were diagnosed by surgical approach and resected were analyzed retrospectively. Material and Method: 28 patients with mediastinal masses, who were operated in thoracic surgery clinics of Western Black Sea region universities between May 2008 and December 2011, were analyzed retrospectively. The cases were examined in terms of age, sex, complaint, clinical and radiologic findings, surgical approach, histopathological diagnose, postoperative complications and mortality. The cases are consisted of 19 woman and 9 men whose ages vary between 31 and 76 (median: 52,07). They were attended with cough, chest pain, muscle weakness and dyspnea. One patient had vena cava superior syndrome. 21,4% of patients were asymptomatic. Complete resection was made in 85,72% while only biopsy was performed in 14,28% of the cases. Postoperative complication was one patient and there was no mortality. Discussion: Operative therapy, a definitive diagnose and treatment of mediastinal masses is a reliable method with low mortality and morbidity rate.en_US
