A rare mediastinal parathyroid cyst was surgically removed from a 66-year-old woman. This case contributes to the limited reported instances of this unusual condition.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Mediastinal parathyroid cysts are exceptionally rare congenital anomalies.
  • Surgical intervention is typically required for diagnosis and treatment of symptomatic or incidentally discovered cysts.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old asymptomatic woman presented with a right superior mediastinal mass detected on chest X-ray.
  • Surgical exploration via right thoracotomy revealed a thin-walled cyst (7x5x5 cm) adjacent to the trachea, containing watery fluid.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed the cyst was lined by cuboidal epithelium.
  • Crucially, the cyst wall demonstrated parathyroid tissue, establishing the diagnosis of a mediastinal parathyroid cyst.

Implications:

  • This case adds to the scarce literature on mediastinal parathyroid cysts, highlighting their rarity.
  • Understanding the histological features is vital for accurate diagnosis and distinguishing from other mediastinal masses.
  • Further case reports are essential for elucidating the pathogenesis and optimal management strategies for these uncommon cysts.
