Abstract

Cystic lymphangioma is an extremely rare mediastinal benign tumor characterized by congenitally enlarged lymphatic vessels. It is often diagnosed incidentally because it is only symptomatic when it grows to be very large. We present two cases of mediastinal cystic lymphangioma and review the literature.

Key words
