A 69-year-old woman visited our hospital for further investigation of a prominence at the right heart border. Chest X-ray, tomography, CT scan and ultrasonography revealed an anterior mediastinal cyst. After admission, we performed needle aspiration, injection of contrast material and drainage. Since the lesion was diagnosed as a benign mediastinal cyst, the patient has been followed up without surgery. CT scan after a two-year period revealed fatty tissue in the area of the lesion without evidence of recurrence.
一名69岁女性因右心缘突出前来我院做进一步检查。胸部X光、断层扫描、CT扫描及超声检查显示前纵隔囊肿。入院后，我们进行了针吸、造影剂注射及引流。由于病变被诊断为良性纵隔囊肿，该患者未接受手术，而是接受随访观察。两年后的CT扫描显示病变区域为脂肪组织，无复发迹象。
