AB  - Mediastinal  masses  encompass  a  diverse  spectrum  of  solid  tumors,  vascular  abnormalities,  and  cysts,  arising  from  and  associated  with  each  of  the  structures  found  within  the  mediastinum.1–4  Cystic  lesions  account  for  up  to  25%  of  reported  mediastinal  masses.1,3–5  These  cysts  may  be  congenital  or  acquired,  or  they  may  represent  cystic  degeneration  of  a  previously  solid  tumor.  In  this  chapter,  we  focus  on  congenital  cystic  lesions  within  the  mediastinum,  specifically  addressing  foregut  cysts  including  bronchogenic  cysts,  enterogenous  (esophageal  duplication)  cysts,  and  neurenteric  cysts.  Together,  they  constitute  up  to  9%  of  all  primary  mediastinal  masses.  We  will  also  briefly  consider  simple  cysts  arising  from  the  thymus,  pericardium,  and  thoracic  duct.  Many  other  solid  mediastinal  neoplasms  (dermoids,  teratomas,  thymomas,  parathyroid  adenomas,  and  thyroid  goiters)  may  present  with  cystic  components.  These  lesions  are  discussed  separately  in  Chapter  82.
