Abstract

A 14-year-old male patient was admitted for an abnormal chest X-ray. A chest computed tomogram showed a cystic mass in the anterior mediastinum and spleen, $14\times14cm$ and $2\times2cm$ in size respectively. Complete removal of the mediastinal lesion was achieved by a median sternotomy. The final histologic diagnosis of the lesion was cystic lymphangioma. There was no evidence of tumor recurrence until a postoperative period of 14 months.

14세 남자가 흉부 X-선 검사에서 이상이 발견되어 입원하였다. 흉부 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 전방부 종격동 및 비장에 $14\times14cm$$2\times2cm$크기의 낭성 병변이 보였다. 정중 흉골절개술을 통해 종격동의 병변을 완전 절제하였고, 최종 조직학적 진단은 낭성 림프관종이었다. 현재 수술 후 14개월째로 종격동에서 재발은 없고, 비장의 병변은 경과를 관찰 중이다.
