What are the main symptoms of mediastinal lung cancer?

Mediastinal lung cancer was once considered to be a special manifestation of basic lung cancer. The lung cancer blocked the larger bronchus, made the upper lobe atelectasis completely and close to the upper mediastinum, and wrapped the hilar mass and lymph nodes, which was similar to mediastinal mass. With the deepening of understanding of mediastinal lung cancer, mediastinal lung cancer is divided into two types: base type and peripheral type.

Base type mediastinal lung cancer: CT scan hilar mass often reflects nodular shadow, irregular margin, lobulation. The enhancement was irregular. The characteristic manifestation is atelectasis close to the mediastinum, and the distal part of the lesion may be a little patchy obstructive pneumonia. Supposing bronchial obstruction is very helpful for the diagnosis of mediastinal lung cancer.

There are leaf, burr and spinous protuberance. Enhanced scan can show the tumor homogeneous enhancement; It can also enhance the periphery of the mass: it can also enhance the mass unevenly. A small number of cases may have "bronchial inflation sign".
