Abstract:
We describe a rare case of double mediastinal tumors in a 60-year-old male with spinocerebellar degeneration. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accidentally revealed double cystic tumors in the anterior and posterior mediastinum. Surgical management by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) was successfully performed. The histological diagnoses were confirmed as a thymic cyst in the anterior and a thoracic duct cyst in the posterior mediastinum, respectively.
