title: Thoracic duct cyst presenting as a left supraclavicular mass.
abstract: Thoracic duct cysts may occur either in the mediastinum or in the neck. The majority of such lesions occurring in the neck consist of chylous fistulae and are secondary to surgery on the neck. Fewer than five cases have been reported in the literature of primary thoracic duct cysts occurring in the neck (1).
