Concurrent cysts of the mediastinum, pleura and neck

Abstract: A 14-year-old male was found to have a mediastinal mass on chest radiograph. Chest computed tomography scans showed a cystic lesion behind the left main bronchus. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed additional cystic lesions in the left chest and root of the neck. He underwent excision of mediastinal mass and a pleural cyst. The neck lesion was presumed to be a cystic hygroma. Histological examination of the two lesions resected showed them to be a foregut cyst and a benign mesothelial cyst. We know of no othe… Show more

“…Location of FD cysts varies from the tongue, neck, pericardial sac, thorax, and to the abdomen [11][12][13]. Screening for an intraabdominal component may be important once an intrathoracic FD cyst is identified; one review mentions a 30% incidence of concurrent intraabdominal duplication cyst, but it is not clear how many of these were completely separate duplications vs thoracoabdominal duplications in continuity [2].…”

“…1 Bronchogenic and enteric cysts are closely related because the respiratory tree and esophagus arise at a common origin from the primitive foregut. Mesothelial cysts are fluid-filled sacs lined by mesothelial cells.…”
