Diaphragmatic Mesothelial Cyst And Percutaneous Ethanol Sclerotherapy: In A Young Girl

Abstract

Diaphragmatic mesothelial cysts are rare congenital lesions that are lined with mesothelial cells. The diagnosis might be problematic because of their rarity and anatomic location. We report a case of with a diaphragmatic cyst in a 6–year–old girl. In this case, the cyst was found incidentally. We found a thin-wall, homogeneous cyst, which was between the lateral aspects of the liver and diaphragm with radiological imaging. The patient was planned for cyst aspiration and ethanol sclerotherapy was made based on the imaging findings. The cyst was aspirated and then performed ethanol sclerotherapy. The cytological findings of the cyst fluid were appeared to be degenerated histiocytes and mesothelial cells. If treatment is needed, percutaneous treatment is conceivable as the first choice of technique.
