[Mediastinal surgery in children].

From 96 surgical interventions in the child, the authors studied the repartition of tumours according to their histological nature, their benignity or malignancy. For each kind of tumour they gave its frequency and clinical, radiological and biological data. Above all they studied the distant results of these interventions with an important set back. The results are excellent for benign tumours and promising for malignant ones and enable the deduction of therapeutical indications.

[Profile of surgical tumors of the mediatinum. Apropos of a series of 742 operated patients].

The authors seek to draw statistical conclusions on the basis of 742 surgically treated mediastinal tumours. Tumours of the thymus were the most common (20%). They were followed by tumours of the thyroid, neurogenic tumours, haematosarcomas and mediastinal cysts - all with an occurrence rate of around 12 to 15%. From a histological standpoint, 34.5% of the tumours were malignant or "potentially malignant". After a topographical study of these tumours, the authors discuss the possibilities of surgical treatment, the latter being great even in the case of malignant lesions.
