背景横膈间皮囊肿是一种先天性病变，起源于体腔残留物。描述其US、CT和MRI表现。4名儿童（7-14岁）接受了手术，病理证实了诊断。另外5名儿童（0-12个月大）谁是保守的管理，但对他们来说，有一个高度怀疑这一诊断。所有病变均表现为胸壁与肝脏之间的囊性肿块，位于右后外侧肋膈角。一些病灶显示出肝外位置的细微证据。影像学检查结果高度提示间皮囊肿。
Background. Diaphragmatic mesothelial cysts are congenital lesions that derive from coelomic remnants.Objective. To describe their radiological appearance on US, CT and MRI.Materials and methods. Four children (aged 7-14 years) who underwent surgery and for whom there was pathological confirmation of the diagnosis. Five more children (0-12 months old) who were managed conservatively, but for whom there was a high degree of suspicion for this diagnosis.Results. All lesions presented as a cystic mass between the thoracic wall and the liver, in the right posterolateral costophrenic angle. Some lesions showed subtle evidence of their extrahepatic location.Conclusions. The radiological findings identified are highly suggestive of diaphragmatic mesothelial cyst.
