title: [A case of mediastinal esophago-bronchogenic cyst associated with high serum level of CA 19-9].
abstract: We report a case of mediastinal esophago-bronchogenic cyst in a patient with a high serum level of CA 19-9. A 49-year-old man presented with a complaint of dysphagia. Chest X-ray, CT, and MRI showed posterior mediastinal cystic shadow which was diagnosed preoperatively. The serum level of CA 19-9 was 158 U/ml. We underwent extirpation of the cyst through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and confirmed to be a bronchogenic cyst histologically. The serum level of CA 19-9 returned to normal after the operation.
