Abstract
We report a case of double mediastinal bronchogenic cysts in a 53-year-old female patient. In 1993, an abnormal shadow was pointed out on medical examination and was followed conservatively. In June 2003, she consulted a hospital for coughing and chest pain. On detailed examination, double mediastinal cysts were detailed under the tracheal region and in front of the ascending aorta. At surgery to remove the cysts, one was located under the tracheal region and the other in the thymus. On histological diagnoses, both were bronchogenic cysts.
