Abstract
Idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis is very rare. We report two cases of a 41-year-old man and 65-year-old man who presented with backache and vocal cord palsy, subsequently confirmed to be idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis. Preoperative chest computed tomography showed a mediastinal mass and thoracoscopic biopsy was preformed. The mass was hard, dense and partially calcified, and adhered the adjacent mediastinal structure. Postoperative medical treatment was not performed, and during 5 and 7 month follow-up has not demonstrated any complication.
