Differential diagnoses of mediastinal masses are often based on the anatomic locations. Traditionally the posterior mediastinum has been home to esophageal and neurogenic cysts, but a new entity has been found to be prevalent since its initial report in 2005: the Müllerian cyst. We present a 49-year-old with history of cough who was found to have such a mass. We will discuss the surgical outcome and the details of this interesting entity. The literature pertinent to this type of cyst will be evaluated. In all cases reported, the literature demonstrates that surgical removal results in uneventful follow-up with no evidence of malignancy or cyst recurrence.
纵隔肿块的鉴别诊断通常基于解剖位置。传统上，后纵隔是食管囊肿和神经源性囊肿的好发部位，但自2005年首次报道以来，一种新的病变已被发现很常见：苗勒管囊肿。我们报告一例49岁有咳嗽病史的患者，其被发现有这样一个肿块。我们将讨论手术结果以及这个有趣病变的细节。将评估与这类囊肿相关的文献。在所有报道的病例中，文献表明手术切除后随访情况良好，无恶性肿瘤或囊肿复发的证据。
