Mediastinal tumors in children are uncommon tumors, as a group account for 3% of the total thoracic surgery in children. Due to differences in tumor incidence and form of presentation according to age range, the survival rate after treatment varies from 88% in children under 2 years and 33% in the elderly. Nearly a quarter of the tumors of the mediastinum are malignant tumors, so it is very important to know their topographic classification, symptoms, signs and methods of study that might help your diagnosis, and surgical and anesthetic considerations they present in childhood.
