[Fibrosing mediastinitis].
The case report is presented of a 35 year-old patient with fibrosing mediastinitis. Clinically, only non-specific features were present. Radiography, computed tomography and cavography were of great importance in establishing the diagnosis and in following up the patient. Diagnosis was confirmed histologically following thoracotomy. Fibrosing mediastinitis, although a rare condition, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal processes.
