The mediastinum is an anatomically defined space in which organs and major blood
vessels reside with surrounding soft tissue elements. The thymus is an important
organ in the mediastinum, and many of the masses encountered in the mediastinum
are related to this organ. Most neoplasms diagnosed in the mediastinum are
epithelial tumours (thymomas and thymic carcinomas), lymphomas or germ cell
tumours. In contrast, soft tissue tumours of the mediastinum are rare. In 1963,
Pachter and Lattes systematically reviewed soft tissue pathology of the
mediastinum, covering the hitherto described [2, 226, 227] In this review, based
on the 2013 WHO classification of soft tissue tumours and the 2015 WHO
classification of tumours of the lung, pleura, thymus and heart, we provide an
updated overview of mesenchymal tumours that may be encountered in the
mediastinum.
