Differentiation of mediastinal cysts appearing as soft-tissue attenuation masses on computed tomography (CT) scans from malignant mediastinal masses is difficult. We report a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, who was considered to have persistent disease in the posterior mediastinum based on CT scans. However, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) demonstrated a paraesophageal, fluid-filled cyst with echodens inclusions and no evidence of any solid component. EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) revealed mucous, epithelial and inflammatory cells, and additionally candida albicans was cultured. Based on these findings and constant size during follow-up, the diagnosis of an infected esophageal duplication cyst was made. Thus, this report further demonstrated the impact of EUS and EUS-FNA for management of posterior mediastinal cystic lesions in selected cases.

Among 152 600 breast cancer patients diagnosed during 1958-2000, there was a 22% increased risk of developing a second primary non-breast malignancy (standardised incidence ratio (SIR)=1.22; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.19-1.24). The highest risk was seen for connective tissue cancer (SIR=1.78; 95% CI: 1.49-2.10). Increased risks were noted among women diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50. Oesophagus cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma showed six- and four-fold higher risks, respectively, in women with a family history of breast cancer compared to those without in the > or =10-year follow-up period.
