“…Recently, Hattori[2] described the first case of a ciliated cyst of probable Müllerian origin arising in the posterior mediastinum, a so-called Hattori’s cyst. Since that time, several additional cases have been reported[3,4]. We found a posterior mediastinal cyst with Müllerian differentiation that was consistent with previous description of Hattori’s cyst.…”

“…Daha önce bu olguların 6'sına bronkojenik kist tanısı, 3'üne de benign seröz kist tanısı verildiği görülmüştür (9). Genel olarak perimenopozal dönem boyunca gelişen bu kistlerin, hormon replasman tedavisi, histerektomi ve ooferektomi gibi jinekolojik durumlarla ya da obezite ile ilişkili olduğu bildirilmiştir, ancak etiyolojisi halen belirsizdir (4,6). Bilinen patogenez teorileri; endometriozis, endosalpingiozis, endoservikozis ve adenomyozis gibi jinekolojik hastalıklardır.…”
