Abstract：
Cysts can be segregated according to their embryonic backgrounds. The cysts that were found in the mediastinum are usually divided into bronchogenic cysts, enteric cysts, esophageal cysts, and nonspecific cysts. We add to the relatively small body of literature that exists on this topic by reporting a case of a Müllerian cyst occurring in the posterior mediastinum of a 60-year-old female, showing diffuse nuclear positivity for estrogen receptor (ER) and PAX-8. We examined and summarized the findings of the unique reported cases in the literature. Lastly, an institutional retrospective review of all posterior mediastinal lesions in the last 38.5 years was performed. This revealed that out of 135 candidates within our own healthcare system, the only case consistent with the diagnosis of a mediastinal Müllerian cyst is the report included herein.
摘要：
囊肿可以根据其胚胎背景进行隔离。在纵隔中发现的囊肿通常分为支气管囊肿，肠囊肿,食管囊肿,和非特异性囊肿。我们通过报道一例发生在60岁女性后纵隔的苗勒管囊肿，增加了关于这一主题的相对较小的文献，显示雌激素受体（ER）和PAX-8的弥漫性核阳性。我们检查并总结了文献中独特报道病例的发现。最后,我们对过去38.5年的所有后纵隔病变进行了机构回顾性审查.这表明，在我们自己的医疗保健系统内的135名候选人中，与纵隔苗勒管囊肿诊断一致的唯一病例是本文的报告.
