Resumen
Los autores aporta 2 casos de mediastinitis crónica fibrosa idiopática que cursaron con síndrome de cava superior y uno de ellos con oclusión de arteria pulmonar. Se realizan consideraciones sobre el diagnóstico diferencial de las masas mediastínicas y de los síndromes de cava superior, asi como de la etiopatogenia de las fibrosis multifocales.
Summary
The authors present two cases of chronic idiopathic fibrous mediastinitis that evolved with syndrome of the superior cava, and one of them with occlusion of the pulmonary artery. The authors comment on the differential diagnosis of the mediastinal mass and of syndromes of the superior cava as well as on the pathogenesis of multifocal fibrosis.
