İlginç bir mediastinal kist olgusu: Benign kistik mezotelyoma

Altmış dokuz yaşında bir erkek hastada rastlantısal olarak anterior mediastinal, düzgün sınırlı, ametabolik kistik lezyon tespit edildi. Bu lezyona tanı ve tedavi amaçlı uniportal video-torakoskopik cerrahi uygulandı. Histopatolojik bulgular benign kistik mezotelyoma ile uyumlu idi. Benign kistik mezotelyoma batında, özellikle üreme çağındaki kadınlarda tanımlanmıştır. Benign kistik mezotelyomanın mediastinal plevradan köken alması çok nadir bir durumdur ve literatürde tanımlanmamıştır. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla, bu nadir ve ilginç mediastinal kistik lezyonu literatürde ilk kez sunuyoruz.

An interesting mediastinal cyst case: Benign cystic mesothelioma

Anterior mediastinal, well-defined, ametabolic cystic lesion was detected incidentally in a 69-year-old male patient. Uniportal video-thoracoscopic surgery was performed to the lesion for diagnosis and treatment purposes. Histopathological findings were in accordance with “benign cystic mesothelioma”. Benign cystic mesothelioma has been defined in the abdomen, particularly among females of reproductive age. Benign cystic mesothelioma originating from mediastinal pleura is very rare entity and was not defined in the literature. To our knowledge, we present this rare and interesting mediastinal cystic lesion for the first time in the literature.
