A lesion with sharp outlines extending above the clavicles suggests?
Ans BThe anterior mediastinum ends below the clavicle while the apical lobes of upper lung lobes extend superior to the clavicles more posteriorly hence if a mass lies in the posterior mediastinum its margins would be lined by air filled lungs and hence seen as sharp margins. This is an extension of the Silhouette sign - the Cervico-thoracic sign.
