Abstract
Aim & Objectives: To study the distribution, CT characteristics and involvement of neighbouring structures of Mediastinal masses in Plain and Contrast enhanced scans.
Result: patient between 46 to 60 years are the most common group having mediastinal mass and anterior mediastinal mass is the most common mediastinal mass.
Conclusion: MD CT can be used diagnose of mediastinal mass and their effect on surrounding stracture.
Keywords: Mediastinum, thymoma, mediastinal lymphadenopathy, neurogenic tumor.
