Primary mediastinal cysts are rare, congenital and benign lesions originating from various embryological tissue types. However, it can present with similar clinical and radiological findings at almost every age. We present this case to emphasize that two separate mediastinal cysts originating from different embryological origins in different compartments of the mediastinum are extremely rare and that these cysts can be simultaneously resected by videothoracoscopic surgery.
