Abstract: Pediatric thoracic masses are usually found in the mediastinum. The three anatomic compartments each have distinct differential diagnoses. Castlemans Disease, a rare form of giant lymph node hyperplasia has been described in children with mediastinal masses. While most forms are localized, multicentric disease can also occur. This review provides a summary of pediatric mediastinal disease.
