Mediastinite fibrosante, também conhecida como mediastinite esclerosante ou fibrose mediastínica é um transtorno caracterizado por uma reação fibrótica excessiva no mediastino. Pode resultar no comprometimento de vias aéreas, grandes vasos e outras estruturas mediastinais, com morbidade diretamente relacionada à localização e à extensão da fibrose. A causa mais comum é a histoplasmose, da qual é uma complicação rara e tardia, mas pode também ocorrem em associação com outras infecções e com transtornos autoimunes sistêmicos como a doença de Behçet, a granulomatose com poliangeíte e a fibrose retroperitoneal. | |||
