Publication date: Available online 13 November 2018Source: The Annals of Thoracic SurgeryAuthor(s): Wei-Li Huang, Yau-Lin TsengAbstractMediastinal enteric cysts are extremely rare. In the published English literature, the majority of such cysts are reported in the right posterior mediastinal position; often with vertebral anomalies. Just 4 cases have been reported for enteric cysts in atypical mediastinal locations since 1997. Herein, we report an additional case of an atypically located giant isolated enteric cyst in the anterior mediastinum.
