Large thoracic duct cysts are rare and standard lateral thoracotomy is usually used for resection. In the reported case the combination of an antero-lateral thoracotomy with a partial longitudinal median sternotomy (hemiclamshell approach) allowed an excellent visualization and dissection of a large thoracic duct cyst expanding in the anterior cervico-thoracic junction, and was associated with an uncomplicated recovery.
巨大胸导管囊肿罕见，标准的侧胸壁切开术通常用于切除。在该报道病例中，前外侧胸壁切开术联合部分纵向正中胸骨切开术（半蛤壳式入路）能够很好地显露并切除位于颈胸交界前方的巨大胸导管囊肿，且术后恢复顺利。
