“…In these intraoperatively-diagnosed cases, the pedicles were ligated to prevent postoperative chylothorax [4] . Cysts were located at the left diaphragmatic level in three cases, and in the right upper mediastinum in six cases (as in our case) [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ; although the cysts may occur along the entire course of the thoracic duct, these locations may be described as atypical when considering the normal route of the thoracic duct. Diagnosis was not reached during surgery in four of these atypical cases (44.4%).…”

HighlightsA resection of a thoracic duct cyst in the right upper mediastinum resulted in post-operative chylopericardium.Chylous complications in thoracic duct cysts are frequent when intraoperative diagnosis is not reached, such as in cases with anomalous cyst location.A review on post-surgical chylopericardium is performed, which will provide information for future management of this rare complication.

A 5-year-old girl was referred to our unit with an incidental finding of a lesion on the right hemithorax situated within the right atrial shadow. Computed tomography thorax showed a well-defined soft tissue lesion felt to be consistent with a bronchogenic cyst. The lesion was located in the posterior mediastinum, adherent to the diaphragm and inferior vena cava, but did not extend within the wall of the esophagus. It was entirely excised via video-assisted thoracoscopy converted to open thoracotomy. Histopathology confirmed an encapsulated nodular tissue measuring 2.5 × 2.5 × 2 cm lined by squamous type epithelium. Chronic inflammatory cells and foreign body giant cell reaction were found in the cyst wall. The appearances were that of a benign epidermoid cyst.
