摘要：
Background. Thoracic duct cysts of the cervical portion are rare benign lesions for which surgery is the treatment of choice. Methods. We present 2 cases of a thoracic duct cyst of the cervical portion. One patient was treated by surgery and the other patient by ethanol sclerotherapy. Results. After establishing diagnosis by radiologic assessment and chemical and cytological fine-needle aspirate of the cystic masses, both patients were treated successfully. Conclusion. Ethanol sclerotherapy provides an alternative therapy for thoracic duct cyst when evaluation establishes a high likelihood of clinical diagnosis. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
