Mediastinal Mass | Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons | CTVS Texas

CTVS thoracic surgeons Dr. Rachel Medbery and Dr. Matthew Gaudet specialize in the surgical treatment of medialstinal masses.
Different masses can form in the mediastinum depending on the location.
Anterior
- Thymic
- Lymphoma
- Goiter
- Germ cell
Middle
- Duplication cyst
Posterior
- Nerve sheath
- Paraganglioma
Not all mediastinal masses have to be surgically removed. The majority of the masses that do require surgery can be resected with a minimally invasive or robotic approach. Some of the larger or more invasive tumors will require a median sternotomy.

Thanks for the reassurance. I have been diagnosed with a thymoma and currently undergoing neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with surgery after the 4th cycle. It will be a medial sternotomy - my 3rd as I had a Tetrology of Fallots, and they need to replace my PV. So there will be two teams working on my surgery. I am anxious but I know the prognosis is good. Pray for me
