Abstract
Parathyroid cysts are rare, benign, cystic lesions usually located in the neck region, and those located in the mediastinum are extremely unusual. Traditionally, thoracotomy or sternotomy has been used to resect mediastinal parathyroid cysts, and recently, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has also been employed. Here, we describe a case of non-functional mediastinal parathyroid cyst that was successfully resected via a cervical incision using video-mediastinoscopy.
