title: [Mediastioscopic management of pleuropericardial cysts].
abstract: We report two cases of paratracheal cystic tumors where no preoperative diagnosis could be established. Mediastinoscopy provided the diagnosis of pleuropericardial cyst. The mediastinoscopic approach allowed partial removal in one case and complete removal in the other.
