The authors discuss the results of surgical treatment of 105 patients with benign neoplasms of the mediastinum. Cysts were encountered in 22.9% and benign tumors in 77.1% of cases. Two complications occurred during the operation: injury inflicted to the intercostal artery in removal of a neurofibroma and injury to the lung in removal of a mediastinal cyst. The authors conclude that surgery of mediastinal neoplasms is a radical method of treatment.
