It is necessary to distinguish it from neurogenic tumor or bronchogenic cyst arising in the posterior mediastinum. Herein, we have reported and reviewed a case of M\u00fcllerian cyst in the light of the existing literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of a case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 40-year-old woman was referred to our department for abnormal mediastinal tumor on computed tomography (CT). Chest CT revealed a 2-cm nodule in the left posterior mediastinum, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2-weighted scan revealed an elliptical, homogenous, and high-intensity neoplasm, and bronchogenic cyst or neurogenic tumor was suspected. She did not present with any symptoms. A thoracoscopic surgery was performed for the cyst removal. Histopathological examination revealed that the cyst wall was covered with a layer of columnar epithelium. Immunohistochemical staining revealed the presence of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR). Therefore a diagnosis of mediastinal M\u00fcllerian cyst was made.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It is important to differentiate M\u00fcllerian cyst in the posterior mediastinal from other mediastinal cystic tumor for optimal decision-making in treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2018.06.037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,9]],"date-time":"2018-07-09T13:19:43Z","timestamp":1531142383000},"page":"163-165","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["M\u00fcllerian cyst in posterior mediastinum"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Sekimura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shun","family":"Iwai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aika","family":"Funasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nozomu","family":"Motono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katsuo","family":"Usuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hidetaka","family":"Uramoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-39-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3388","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.128.5.3388","article-title":"High prevalence of estrogen and progesterone receptor expression in mediastinal cysts situated in the posterior mediastinum","volume":"128","author":"Hattori","year":"2005","journal-title":"Chest [Internet"},{"key":"R2-39-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"180","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2016.08.014","article-title":"The SCARE statement: consensus-based surgical case report guidelines","volume":"34","author":"Agha","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int.
