Thoracic duct cysts in the upper portion of the diaphragm are mostly found in the neck and are rarely found in the mediastinum. Thoracic duct cysts should be differentiated from other mediastinal tumors or cysts, and surgical treatment is required to avoid the development of chylothorax if the cyst ruptures. Herein, we report the case of a patient with a thoracic cyst located just above the diaphragm that was treated with surgical resection.
位于膈肌上部的胸导管囊肿大多见于颈部,很少见于纵隔。胸导管囊肿应与其他纵隔肿瘤或囊肿相鉴别,若囊肿破裂,为避免乳糜胸的发生,需进行手术治疗。在此,我们报告一例位于膈肌上方的胸导管囊肿患者接受手术切除治疗的病例。
