Selected patients with mediastinal cysts can be managed safely and effectively by mediastinoscopic techniques. Small cysts in favorable locations can be excised partially or nearly completely. Cysts that are intimately associated with vital structures are better suited to mediastinoscopic cystotomy and chemical sclerosis. Three cases are presented and technical aspects are discussed.
