Anterior mediastinal, well-defined, ametabolic cystic lesion was
detected incidentally in a 69-year-old male patient. Uniportal videothoracoscopic
surgery was performed to the lesion for diagnosis and
treatment purposes. Histopathological findings were in accordance
with benign cystic mesothelioma. Benign cystic mesothelioma
has been defined in the abdomen, particularly among females of
reproductive age. Benign cystic mesothelioma originating from
mediastinal pleura is very rare entity and was not defined in the
literature. To our knowledge, we present this rare and interesting
mediastinal cystic lesion for the first time in the literature.
