“…Bronchogenic cysts are usually detected incidentally on CXRs in adulthood [13] or during evaluations for other clinical concerns, such as dyspnea and chest pain, as was the case with our patient. The cyst typically appears as a well-defined solitary spherical or oval mass with homogeneous opacity on a CXR [4].…”

Bronchogenic cysts are rare in adults and often remain undetected until discovered incidentally on imaging or during a symptomatic investigation. The possibility of superior vena cava (SVC) compression due to a bronchogenic cyst arises in complex patient presentations. SVC syndrome poses several unique challenges due to the wide range of clinical symptoms and difficulty identifying the cause when symptoms first manifest. This case report examines a 39-year-old male who presented with symptoms resulting from SVC compression caused by a bronchogenic cyst, leading to SVC syndrome. We discuss the various imaging modalities used to assess the severity of the obstruction and the surgical interventions employed to alleviate the symptoms. A surgical intervention provides symptomatic relief and promises an excellent prognosis when performed without complications.

“…There are different surgical approaches according to the location of the tumor. Thoracotomy, median sternotomy, VATS or robotic surgery techniques can be used in anterior and middle mediastinal masses [ 19–23]. VATS, thoracotomy or robotic surgery can be performed in the posterior mediastinal mass or cyst surgery [21–23].…”

AimIn this study, we aimed to evaluate the results of our patients with a primary mediastinal mass and the surgical techniques applied in our clinic retrospectively.Material and methodsBetween March 2015 and March 2019, the results and treatment protocols of 32 patients with a primary mediastinal mass or cysts who were followed up and treated in our clinic were evaluated retrospectively. Twenty-six patients who underwent surgery for biopsy or resection were included in the study.ResultsSixteen of our patients were male and 10 were female. The mean age was 39 years. 80.2% of our patients were symptomatic and 19.2% were asymptomatic and a mediastinal mass was incidentally detected in these asymptomatic patients. The most common symptom was dyspnea with frequency of 38.4%. In terms of localization, the mass was lateralized on the right side in 7 patients, on the left side in 5 patients. In 13 patients, the tumor was located in the posterior mediastinum. 8 patients underwent anterior mediastinotomy and 1 patient underwent biopsy with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Most commonly a thymus-derived mass was seen. Fifteen patients underwent excision with VATS, 3 thoracotomy, 2 sternotomy and in 1 patient VATS assisted anterior minithoracotomy was performed.ConclusionsMediastinal tumors and cysts have different histopathological features. Robotic surgery and VATS-assisted surgery are increasingly used in surgical excision.
