Mediastinal Cystic Lymphangioma in a Patient with Situs Inversus Totalis

Abstract EN

We present a case of cystic lymphangioma of the mediastinum complicated with situs inversus totalis.

The 70-year-old man underwent thoracoscopic resection of a mediastinal cystic tumor, which was diagnosed as cystic lymphangioma.

Cystic lymphangiomas are congenital cystic abnormalities of the lymphatic system.

The head and neck area is often involved while the mediastinum is rarely affected.

The rarity of this case is further attributed to the coexistence of situs inversus totalis.
