Abstract
Neurogenic tumors of the mediastinum are relatively rare and are most often encountered in the pediatric-age population. They most commonly arise from structures in the posterior mediastinum, although they can originate from all three mediastinal compartments. Neurogenic tumors are, in fact, the most common tumors of the posterior mediastinum in both children and adults. Neurogenic tumors can be of neuroblastic origin or may arise from peripheral nerve sheath elements (Table 4.1).
