Tumors of the mediastinum are usually classified according to their location in the anterior, middle, or posterior mediastinum. Mediastinal teratomas are characteristically located at anterior mediastinum with only rare incidence in the posterior mediastinum. Two cases of posterior mediastinal teratoma were experienced recently, in the department of thoracic surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. The incidence of posterior mediastinal teratoma was 4.2% among 48 mediastinal teratomas in our experience. Two cases are all benign teratoma located at right posterior costophrenic angle, and histologically showed tissues from three germ layers including bone and fat.

We report rare cases of myxoid chondrosarcoma and meningomyelocele mimicking as neurogenic tumor in the posterior mediastinum. This lesions clinically mimicked neurogenic tumor due to its location and dumbbell shape appearance. The histogenesis of myxoid chondrosarcoma is discussed as skeletal origin from the thoracic vertebrae, and meningomyelocele is ectopic harmatoma lesion of C.N.S. or meningx. This lesions is concluded that distinguished for the differential diagnosis among Neurogenic tumor arising in the posterior mediastinum.

Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor of vascular origin, first described by Stout and Murray in 1942. It is characterized by a proliferation of capillaries, surrounding by a mass of spindle shaped or round cells. A 55 year-old man was admitted with a 2 years history of dull pain on the right upper posterior chest and mild dyspnea on Feb. 1978. On admission, chest PA and right lateral x-ray showed a large well defined homogenous increased density in the right upper posterior chest. Yellowish to brownish colored huge firm mass, which occupied entirely the right superior posterior mediastinum, was removed. The tumor was dense adhesive with right upper & lower lobe and Rt. upper posterior chest wall. The origin of tumor was not obvious. The tumor was confirmed as hemangiopericytoma, locating at the right posterior mediastinum by histopathologic examination. The postoperative course was uneventful, and he was made irradiation therapy after discharge.

We have experienced 47 cases of primary mediastinal tumors & cysts in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Chonbuk National University Hospital, from September, 1979 to November, 1990. The results were as follows: 1. The age distribution was from 6 months to 69 years old and the mean age was 32.3 years old. Of all 47 primary mediastinal tumors and cysts, 21 patients were male and 26 patients were female. 2. The neurogenic tumors[11 cases, 23.4%] were most frequently encountered and followed by thymoma[10 cases. 21.3%] and teratodermoid[9 cases, 19.1%]. 3. The anterosuperior mediastinum[59.6%] was most common tumor location, and followed by posterior mediastinum[25.6%], middle mediastinum[14.9%]. 4. The most common tumors were thymoma and teratodermoid at anterosuperior mediastinum, benign cyst at middle mediastinum, and neurogenic tumor at posterior mediastinum 5. The malignant tumors were 10 cases[21.3%] of the 47 cases and they were all symptomatic. 6. The most common chief complaint at admission was chest pain or discomfort[34%], and followed by coughing[23.4%], and dyspnea[17%]. 7. The successful complete removal was done in 37cases of benign tumors and cysts. In malignant cases, the surgical intervention was done in 3 cases, and 6 cases were treated with irradiation and chemotherapy, and 1 case was only biopsied. 8. The postoperative complications were developed in 7 cases[14.6%]. There was no case of hospital mortality.
