1. A brief review of the literature on mediastinal tumors is offered, with special attention to fibrosarcoma of the mediastinum.

2. Three unusual cases of mediastinal fibrosarcoma are reported.

3. Two of these showed a remarkable degree of mediastinal compression. Superior vena cava obstruction was extreme and pulmonary insufficiency intractable. Triethylenemelamine had a palliative effect in one case.

4. The third case exhibited bilateral hemothorax and died of exsanguination into the pleural space and mediastinal compression.
