Mediastinal cysts of foregut origin are not rare in children, but the histologically defined combination of esophageal cyst and bronchogenic cyst is extremely rare. We report here a case of 6-year-old girl. She was admitted with a mass shadow in the upper mediastinum shown in the X-ray film of the chest. An operation revealed a cyst protruding from the right side of the esophagus just inferior to the azygos vein. The cyst was removed with the muscle layer of the esophagus. Histologically, the cyst consisted of esophageal cyst, bronchogenic cyst and multilocular cyst lined by variant respiratory epithelium. The postoperative course was uneventful. There are several cystic lesions of foregut origin that involve esophago-bronchogenic cyst. We discuss here about the etiology of these lesions.
