Abstract: | In the years 1968-1989 out of 300 patients with surgically treated mediastinal tumors in 63 (21%) they were of neurogenic origin. Eighteen of these (29%) proved to be malignant. These tumors occurred in 23 males and 40 females, age range 14 months-67 years (mean 36 years). In all 45 patients with benign tumors and in 12 (66.7%) with malignant tumors the tumors were totally resected. In 4 patients the tumor was only partially resected in further two only a biopsy of the lesion was taken. During postoperative period one patient with a malignant tumor died. Ten (71.4%) patients survived 5 years with malignant lesions, while only 8 (61.5%) survived ten years. All patients that underwent resection of the benign tumor survived 10 years. |
