What is the disease of esophageal posterior mediastinal occupation

Esophageal posterior mediastinal mass is considered to be esophageal cyst, intramediastinal goiter, schwannoma and other diseases, as follows:

1. Esophageal cyst

is located in the posterior mediastinum. If the embryonic cells in the esophagus during embryonic development occur ectopic, it may cause esophageal cyst, which may cause esophageal posterior mediastinal mass in imaging examination.

2. Intramediastinal goiter

is close to the thoracic entrance. If the goiter is large, it may extend into the mediastinum to form intramediastinal goiter, resulting in the above conditions.

3. Schwannoma

is a benign tumor derived from nerve sheath cells. If this tumor grows in the posterior mediastinum of esophagus, it will cause esophageal posterior mediastinal mass.
