Abstract
Abstract: The aim of this study was to review the clinical presentations, diagnostic tools adopted, the histological features and the treatment of primary anterior mediastinal tumors.A retrospective analysis of 71 patients who underwent total or subtotal resection of primary anterior superior mediastinal tumors between 2010 and 2014 was performed. Clinical data were collected from the medical records. All 71 patients with anterior mediastinum tumors were surgically treated and were pathologically confirmed with anterior mediastinum tumors. Of the 71 cases, there were 60 cases of benign tumor and 11 cases of malignant tumor. All patients were partially and completely removed. The all operations were successful. 10 cases appeared postoperative complications, but no obvious serious complications. Symptoms of other patients with complications are relieved after the medical treatment, and the remaining patients recovered and discharged. Primary anterior mediastinal tumors can be partially and completely even if they have invaded other mediastinal structures. Surgical treatment for primary anterior mediastinal tumors is safe and efficacious regardless of approach. Keywords:Primary mediastinal tumor, Surgical treatment, Anterior
