AB Key  PointsDifferential  diagnosis  includes  bronchogenic  cyst,  pericardial  cyst,  thymic  cyst,  esophageal  duplication,  and  neurenteric  cysts.Sonographic  features  may  be  used  to  differentiate  between  various  cystic  masses  that  may  be  found  in  the  fetal  chest.MRI  scanning  is  often  a  useful  adjunctive  imaging  modality  to  ultrasound  that  may  allow  more  accurate  diagnosis  and  recognize  mass  effect  on  adjacent  structures.Fetal  intervention  may  be  indicated  by  thoracoamniotic  shunting  for  hydrops.EXIT-to-ECMO  or  EXIT-to-Resection  may  be  indicated  in  cases  in  which  the  cystic  lesion  is  very  large  and  the  airway  is  compromised.
