Background: Thirty patients with mediastinal lesions which could not be diagnosed with other diagnostic techniques, have been retrospectively rewieved in order to retrospectively evaluate the results of diagnosis objected mediastinoscopy.Methods: Thirty patients (23 males, 7 females; mean age 45.3 years; range 20 to 65 years) with mediastinal mass underwent diagnostic mediastinoscopy under general anesthesia by the same surgical team by standard cervical approach, between May 2003 and July 2005.Results: According to the histopathological examination, 14 patients (46.6%) had sarcoidosis, 7 patients (23.3%) had reactive lymph node hyperplasia, 5 patients (16.6%) had tuberculotic lymphadenitis, and 4 patients (13.3%) had metastatic lymph node hyperplasia due to lung cancer-N2.Conclusion: Our results support the view that mediastinoscopy is a useful method in patients with mediastinal mass which could not be diagnosed with less invasive diagnostic techniques.

Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, diğer tanısal yöntemlerle adlandırılamayan mediastinal lezyonlu otuz olguda uygulanan tanısal amaçlı mediastinoskopik girişim retrospektif olarak incelendi.Çalışma planı: Mayıs 2003 - Temmuz 2005 tarihleri arasında mediastinal kitle tanısıyla 30 hastaya (23 erkek, 7 kadın; yaş ort. 45.3; dağılım 20-65) genel anestezi altında, standart servikal yaklaşımla, aynı cerrahi ekip tarafından mediastinoskopi uygulandı.Bulgular: Histopatolojik incelemede, 14 olguda (%46.6) sarkoidoz, yedi olguda reaktif lenf nodu hiperplazisi (%23.3), beş olguda (%16.8) tüberküloz lenfadenit, dört olguda (%13.3) metastatik lenf nodu (akciğer kanseri-N2) saptandı.Sonuç: Bulgularımız, daha az invaziv yöntemlerle tanısı konulamayan mediastinal lezyonlarda mediastinoskopinin etkili bir yöntem olduğu yönündeki görüşleri desteklemektedir.
