title: [A case of mediastinal cystic lymphangioma--case reports and review of the literature in Japan].
abstract: A 15-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with complaints of left anterior chest pain and an abnormal shadow on her chest X-ray film. At the left thoracotomy, a large cyst (20.5 x 15 x 3 cm) was located in the left anterior mediastinum and contained translucent yellow fluid. Histological diagnosis was cystic lymphangioma. Mediastinal cystic lymphangioma is very rare among mediastinal tumors. Altogether 32 cases of mediastinal cystic lymphangioma including our case were collected from the Japanese literature and reviewed.
