Name of journal: The Annals of thoracic surgeryAbstract: Mullerian cysts in the mediastinum were first described by Hattori in 2005 [1]. We report the first known case of multiple mullerian cysts in the thorax in a 35-year-old woman with cough and an abnormal chest roentgenogram. Multiple bilateral cysts were resected thoracoscopically. Histologic examination showed benign ciliated tubal epithelium that stained positive with immunohistochemical stains for estrogen receptor (ER), cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), Wilms' tumor protein 1 (WT-1), and paired box gene 8 (PAX8), confirming mullerian origin. We also review the embryogenesis and pathologic characteristics of mullerian cysts and the rare occurrence of their migration to the thorax.Copyright © 2015 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
