Chest X-ray showed left diaphragm is elevated, there were many well defined round consolidations suggesting cystic lesions at the left lower zone and adjacent to the mediastinum (Fig. 1a). Thorax CT scan showed multiple cystic lesions in the left lower lobe (3 x 3 cm), adjacent to the left pericardium (5 x 5 and 2 x 2 cm) and adjacent to the upper mediastinum (2 x 4 cm) (Fig. 1b).
Operation photo shows cysts adjacent to the upper mediastinum and left pericardium.
