Congenital cysts of the esophagus are rare tumors of the mediastinum. They are classified as foregut-cysts. Most of them are found accidentally on routine chest X-ray. They are seldom diagnosed preoperatively. Exstirpation of the cysts presents no major problems. Five patients with congenital esophageal cysts are presented.
