title: [Mediastinal cyst in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis successfully treated with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS)].
abstract: Renal transplantation is the most effective form of renal replacement therapy of irreversible renal insufficiency. Due to posttransplant long term immunosuppressive treatment careful evaluation of the recipient is essential, especially detection and elimination of all potential sources of malignancy. In this paper, we describe successful video assisted thoracoscopic surgery of mediastinal cyst in peritoneal dialysis patient prepared for renal transplantation.
