Abstract

Mediastinal masses are a relatively uncommon entity with diverse clinicopathological characteristics [1]. They encompass ~3% of thoracic tumours [2]; however, precise estimates of incidence remain unclear. Furthermore, correlating demographic characteristics such as age and sex with radiological and laboratory findings is important to make a clinical diagnosis. We have previously reported a pathological analysis of mediastinal masses in Sri Lanka in the year 2017 [3]. Here, we report the results of a 5-year continuation of our previous study.
