title: Mediastinal pseudocyst associated with chronic pleural effusions.
abstract: We present a patient who had chronic, bilateral pleural effusions without evidence of parenchymal, retrocardiac or mediastinal masses. A CAT scan of the abdomen and chest revealed the extension of a large abdominal pseudocyst through the diaphragm into the posterior mediastinum. The pseudocyst resolved with conservative management.
