Surgical resection was chosen for accurate diagnosis and treatment of the huge mediastinal masses extending into the pleural cavity.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Methods\u2003Records were reviewed for eight patients who had the diagnosis of huge benign mediastinal masses and who underwent operation; details of the patients and operations were recorded.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Mean age was 34.5 (range 22 to 44) years, and male-to-female ratio was 2:6. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to evaluate the location and extent of the abnormality and to characterize the tissue components of the mass. Most of the tumors were located in the posterior mediastinum. The most frequent presenting symptom was exertional dyspnea. The majority of cases underwent posterolateral thoracotomy, and complete resection was possible in seven patients. Partial resection could only be performed in one. The mean diameter of the resected masses was 15\u2009\u00d7\u200910 cm. Histopathologic examination revealed 3 neurogenic tumors, 2 teratomas, 1 thymolipoma, and 1 ectopic thyroid, and 1 hemangioma. Minor complication was seen in two cases.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003The presurgical thoracic MRI provided correct diagnosis along with radiologic characterization and topography. Surgery must be the preferred treatment in huge benign mediastinal masses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0036-1584519","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,11]],"date-time":"2016-06-11T00:40:39Z","timestamp":1465605639000},"page":"e46-e50","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Giant Benign Mediastinal Masses Extending into the Pleural Cavity"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"02","author":[{"given":"G\u00fcven","family":"Sunam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Medical Faculty, Sel\u00e7uk University, Konya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Murat","family":"\u00d6ncel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Medical Faculty, Sel\u00e7uk University, Konya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sami","family":"Ceran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Medical Faculty, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kemal","family":"\u00d6dev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnostics, Medical Faculty, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H\u00fcseyin","family":"Y\u0131ld\u0131ran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Medical Faculty, Sel\u00e7uk University, Konya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,10]]},"container-title":["The Surgery Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0036-1584519.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,6]],"date-time":"2019-05-06T17:50:24Z","timestamp":1557165024000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0036-1584519"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,4]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,20]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0036-1584519","relation":{},"ISSN":["2378-5128","2378-5136"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2378-5128","type":"print"},{"value":"2378-5136","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,4]]}}}
