Fig 1 Radiographic images of the giant mediastinal cyst. (a) Helical computed tomographic scan demonstrates a large cyst with sharp margins and multiple spherules found mostly in the upper region. (b) T2-weighted magnetic resonance image shows the majority of left chest cavity occupied and mediastinum shift contralaterally by the mass. Spherules exhibit medium signal intensity.
