Abstract

Paediatric mesenchymal tumors of the mediastinum are extremely rare tumors forming approximately 2% of all mediastinal neoplasms. There are subtle differences in the clinical and histomorphological profile of these tumors from their adult counterparts. The management of these tumors in the children is primarily surgical. This review was done to perform a comprehensive analysis of these mesenchymal tumors in the paediatric age group.

Keywords: Mesenchymal tumors; histomorphology; mediastinum; paediatric.
