Mediastinal tumors are growths that form in the area of the chest that separates the lungs. This area, called the mediastinum, is surrounded by the breastbone in front, the spine in back, and the lungs on each side. The mediastinum contains the heart, aorta, esophagus, thymus, trachea, lymph nodes and nerves.
ICD-10 code Q34. 1 for Congenital cyst of mediastinum is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities .
ICD-10-CM Code for Localized swelling, mass and lump, unspecified R22. 9.
The anterior mediastinum contains thymus, fat, and lymph nodes, which corresponds with the most common etiologies of associated primary tumors. Although two-thirds of mediastinal masses are benign, about 59% of masses in the anterior compartment are malignant.[1] Most anterior mediastinal masses are epithelial tumors.
Unlike lung lesions, a mediastinal mass will not contain air bronchograms. The margins with the lung will be obtuse. Mediastinal lines (azygoesophageal recess, anterior and posterior junction lines) will be disrupted. There can be associated spinal, costal or sternal abnormalities.
Mediastinal lymphadenopathy generally suggests a problem related to the lungs. It is usually associated with tuberculosis and most commonly associated with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Mediastinal diseases are conditions that arise from tissues in this cavity. They include cancerous tumors (thymomas, lymphomas, germ cell tumors, carcinoids) and noncancerous tumors (lipoma, teratoma), masses, enlarged lymph nodes, and cysts (bronchogenic, pericardial, esophageal).
chestmediastinum, the anatomic region located between the lungs that contains all the principal tissues and organs of the chest except the lungs.

Mediastinal masses are caused by a variety of cysts and tumors; likely causes differ by patient age and by location of the mass (anterior, middle, or posterior mediastinum). The masses may be asymptomatic (common in adults) or cause obstructive respiratory symptoms (more likely in children).
SymptomsCoughing with or without blood, shortness of breath and hoarseness.Night sweats, chills or fever.Wheezing or a high-pitched breathing noise.Unexplained weight loss and anemia.Swollen or tender lymph nodes.
Although relatively uncommon, the precise incidence of mediastinal masses remains unclear due to lack of ubiquity in classification and definition reported in medical literature. Most tend to be benign with approximately 25% found to be malignant.
Mediastinitis usually results from an infection. It may occur suddenly (acute), or it may develop slowly and get worse over time (chronic). It most often occurs in person who recently had an upper endoscopy or chest surgery. A person may have a tear in their esophagus that causes mediastinitis.

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code R22.2 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
