Abstract

Complex foregut malformations are rare causes of mediastinal cysts. We report a case of young boy, who presented with a cystic lesion in left chest. It was located in the anterior aspect of left lower chest. Surgery was curative. The diagnosis was made only on histology of the resected cyst as a complex foregut malformation. This article highlights rarity of such condition and discusses its embryologic origins.
