Mediastinal Tumor
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A mediastinal tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue that develops in the mediastinum, the central space of the chest located between the lungs, where the heart, great vessels, the trachea, and other structures are housed. It can be of a varied nature.
Possible signs: persistent cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or a sensation of pressure in the chest, although at times it is discovered incidentally.
When to see a doctor? Chest discomfort that does not let up or that is accompanied by respiratory symptoms warrants an evaluation.
Specialists involved: its evaluation usually involves the thoracic surgeon and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, as well as the oncologist when its nature needs to be addressed; in children, the pediatric oncologist participates. It is worth placing the case in the hands of one of these professionals to define the steps to follow.
