A CASE OF IDIOPATHIC MEDIASTINAL FIBROSIS

Abstract

Idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis (IMF) is a rare pathological entity characterized with a dense fibrous tissue proliferation and storage in the visseral compartment of the mediastinum. Its etiology is undetermined in most of the cases. In this report, a 37 year-old man who was previously operated for bilateral lung hidatid cysts was admitted to our department suffering from back pain. Surgical intervention revealed IMF and he was treated by incomplet resection.
