Fig 1 Unusual middle mediastinal lesions. (A) Computed tomographic scan of patient with symptomatic bronchogenic cyst with coronary artery bypass graft forming part of posterior cyst wall. Inset shows operative photograph. If appropriate, portions of cyst walls were left adherent to vascular and other sensitive structures and their epithelial lining was cauterized. (B) Computed tomographic scan of patient with a histoplasmoma compressing the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Vocal cord paresis resolved after resection. (C) Computed tomographic scan of patient with a rare venous hemangioma of the superior vena cava (SVC). Arrows denote phleboliths. (Ao = aorta; PA = pulmonary artery; SVG = saphenous vein graft.)

Fig 2 Posterior mediastinal lesions. (A) Typical magnetic resonance image of a posterior mediastinal schwannoma. Arrows denote lesion. (B) Operative photograph of a posterior mediastinal cyst (bronchogenic). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1998 66, 187-192DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(98)00378-6)
