AB  - Primary  benign  anterior  and  middle  mediastinal  tumors  arise  from  mediastinal  structures  either  as  benign  neoplastic  processes  or  as  a  result  of  inflammation.  They  may  also  occur  as  a  result  of  local  extension  of  adjacent  compartment  organ  growth  into  the  neighboring  space  or  as  a  result  of  the  arrest  of  embryonic  cells  traversing  this  compartment  with  later  tumor  growth.  Uncommon  primary  mediastinal  tumors  usually  are  of  mesenchymal  origin.  These  tumors  represent  fewer  than  10%  of  primary  mediastinal  tumors  and  have  a  higher  prevalence  and  malignant  potential  in  children.1
