Abstract Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) is a potentially destructive disease that affects mostly young patients who present with signs and symptoms related to obstructed mediastinal structures. Most granulomatous FM cases are unilateral and caused by histoplasmosis infection. Nongranulomatous FM is more diffuse and has varying causes but is thankfully rare. CT and MRI are key in the diagnosis and management of FM, vital to assessing the extent of mediastinal involvement, and essential for guiding either surgical or transcatheter therapy.
