MRI findings of mediastinal neurogenic tumors.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this article is to review the clinical, pathologic, and MRI findings of mediastinal neurogenic tumors according to the three tumor origins: the peripheral nerves, sympathetic ganglia, and paraganglia. CONCLUSION: MRI findings reflect pathologic features of mediastinal neurogenic tumors. Integrating consideration of age and clinical findings of the patient, lesion location, and imaging findings is important in the diagnosis of mediastinal neurogenic tumors.
