Mediastinal enteric cysts are a rare occurrence among adults and are usually asymptomatic. In most cases they are an incidental finding in the right hemi-mediastinum and are associated with vertebral anomalies. We report the unusual case of a 23 year old male who had a mediastinal mass on chest X-ray as an incidental finding. Chest Computed Tomography (CT) scan revealed no vertebral anomalies and a cystic mass in the left posterior mediastinum with features similar to those of a hydatid cyst.Posterolateral thoracotomy was done and the cyst was excised. Histopathology report revealed it to be an enteric cyst.
纵隔肠源性囊肿在成年人中较为罕见，通常无症状。多数情况下，它们是在右半纵隔偶然发现的，且与椎体异常有关。我们报告一例罕见病例，一名23岁男性，胸部X线检查偶然发现纵隔肿块。胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）显示无椎体异常，左后纵隔有一个囊性肿块，其特征与包虫囊肿相似。行后外侧开胸手术并切除囊肿。组织病理学报告显示为肠源性囊肿。
