Abstrakt: We report a case of left-sided pleural effusion and mediastinal collection persistently draining pleural fluid through an intercostal drainage tube. Thoracoscopy was planned for evaluation and drainage of mediastinal collection. It revealed a thick-walled mediastinal cyst, which on excision was found to be a dermoid cyst. The patient underwent successful thoracoscopic resection of the dermoid cyst. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
