Abstract
The article is devoted to the description of the X-ray anatomy of the mediastinum, the evolution of the classification of this anatomical region. As well as systematization of radiological signs of the most common formations of the anterior (prevascular) mediastinum in children. Based on these data, a table of the most characteristic radiographic features of various neoplasms of different groups. Reflected basic criteria differential diagnosis of various tumors of the anterior mediastinum.
