Incidental mediastinal masses detected on chest computed tomography scans during the COVID-19 pandemic
In Chinese COVID-19 screening chest computed tomography, the prevalence of all mediastinal masses and anterior mediastinal masses was 0.73% and 0.56%, respectively. Findings support risk-stratified management: growing/suspicious lesions warrant intervention versus surveillance for stable masses. Standardized protocols and multidisciplinary consensus are critical.
