Dilated thoracic duct appearing as a non-enhancing, tubular/multicystic, multicompartmental, water density structure starting caudally from the level of the renal hila in the abdomen extending cranially towards the mediastinum till its insertion with areas of more focal dilatation mounting to cyst formation.
Left supra-clavicular fossa well-defined oval shaped cyst is seen as well.
