Abstract

We describe a rare case of esophageal perforation following cervical mediastinoscopy on a patient with mediastinal lymphadenopathy and right upper lobe (RUL) mass. The patient was successfully treated with esophageal stenting and bilateral pleural exploration and drainage with eventual discharge tolerating a regular diet. This report details an uncommon but noteworthy complication to keep in mind when performing this procedure.
