Abstract

We reported a case of surgically resected double bronchogenic cysts within the anterior mediastinum. An anterior mediastinal tumor had been found at medical examination 6 years ago in a 66-year-old man, but has been followed up without treatment. After the treatment of another disease, he was referred to our hospital for evaluation of the mediastinal tumor. A chest computed tomography showed 2 anterior mediastinal nodules. Nodules in the thymus were resected with video-assisted thoracic surgery. The tumors were both pathologically diagnosed as bronchogenic cysts.
