ABSTRACT
Mediastinal masses commonly present in children and may pose diagnostic challenges, particularly with limited sampling. This article aids the pathologist by reviewing the hematologic differential diagnosis of a pediatric mediastinal mass, along with ancillary testing useful for rendering the correct diagnosis. A review of the more common lymphomas is presented, including classic Hodgkin lymphoma, T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, and primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma, along with brief mentions of less common entities such as gray zone lymphoma and thymoma as well as non-neoplastic conditions such as benign cysts and infections.
