Abstract
Hideo Hattori reported the first case of a mediastinal cyst with features characteristic of a Mullerian cyst in 2005. He presented a case of an 18-year-old woman who presented with an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray film during medical examination and who had no other anatomic abnormalities or clinical problems. We present a case of benign cyst within the mediastinum in the left paravertebral space at the level of the aortic arch in a 56-year-old woman. This patient was being investigated for unexplained shortness of breath and dry cough. As at the time writing this report, to our knowledge, this is the first case report of Hattori cyst in the United Kingdom (UK) following literature search.
