[Space occupying mediastinal processes].
About 1-2% of all tumors are found in the mediastinum. Any space-occupying swelling of the mediastinum has to be exstirpated. Even if a carcinoma cannot be completely removed, the tumor mass should be reduced as much as possible. The operation must not be delayed by any diagnostic uncertainties.
