Dr. Santosh Kumar Pandey [4] | Dr. Kakali Ghosh | Dr. Debajyoti Mandal [3] | Dr. Swarnendu Datta [2] | Dr. Arnab Maity
Abstract: Gastrointestinal duplications usually manifest in children and may involve the oesophagus in 20 % cases. We report an unusual case of mediastinal mass in a 4 years old female with a history of cough. On imaging a cystic mass was found in the middle mediastinum. On thoracotomy, it was found to be a oesophageal duplication cyst and later confirmed on histopathological examination.
Keywords: oesophageal duplication cyst, mediastinal mass
