Abstract
AIM: Our objective of study was to characterize the mediastinal lesions on plain and contrast enhanced computed tomography, the distribution of mediastinal masses, the nature of the lesion, enhancement pattern, presence of calcifications and presence of mass effect, the involvement of structures and to compare computed tomography findings with pathological diagnosis wherever possible. The study was performed from August 2012 to February 2013 in the Department of Radio-diagnosis Konaseema Institute of Medical Sciences, Amalapuram, AP on 50 cases with mediastinal pathology which were initially detected on chest radiographs. The maximum number of cases occurred in 4th 6th decade. In our study of 50 cases of mediastinal masses, the anterior mediastinum was the most common compartment to be involved with ( 52% ) followed by posterior mediastinum (30%) and middle mediastinum (18%).
