Abstract
The case of a 5-year-old girl with a giant cystic hygroma of the posterior mediastinum is reported. Although the tumor was bilateral, it was excised by unilateral thoractomy. The unique anatomical features of this tumor suggested an embryologic origin from the cisterna chyli or the primitive paired thoracic ducts.Entities:
