Abstract
We report about 2 cases of isolated mediastinal tuberculous lymphadeni tis presenting without parenchymal infiltrates. Although rare, this mo de of presentation reminds the clinician that tuberculosis has to be i ncluded in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal masses even in th e absence of parenchymal lesion. Both cases illustrate the value of me diastinoscopic examination to assess the diagnosis.
