Omental mesothelial cyst herniated to the thorax through the esophageal hiatus: a case report.

Both mesothelial cyst in the omentum and omental herniation through the esophageal hiatus without abdominal visceral involvement are rare. We report a case of omental mesothelial cyst herniated to the thorax through the esophageal hiatus.
