Intradiaphragmatic Bronchogenic Cysts: Case Report and Systematic Review

Intradiaphragmatic Bronchogenic Cysts: Case Report and Systematic Review

Bronchogenic cysts (BC) are congenital abnormalities that occur most commonly within the mediastinum, and rarely occur within the diaphragm. We present the 21st case of an intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst in the English literature, and review all previous published cases. Analysis includes presenting clinical symptoms, relevant radiologic studies, surgical approaches to resection, and manag...

Gastric bronchogenic cysts: A case report and literature review

Gastric bronchogenic cysts are rare lesions, first described in 1956, with only 34 cases reported in the literature to date. The present study described a case of bronchogenic cyst of the stomach in a 17-year-old female who presented with periodic epigastric pain. In addition, the study analyzed the existing literature on these lesions. Gastric bronchogenic cysts are more common in females (fem...

Imaging findings of intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst: a case report.

Isolated intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst with calcifications in a 34-year-old man presenting with no clinical symptoms. Imaging studies of the chest, including chest roentgenogram and computerized tomography (CT), revealed a left posterior mediastinal mass that abutted onto the left diaphragmatic crus with ...

Intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst.

Intradiaphragmatic mesothelial cysts.

Primary tumours and cysts of the diaphragm are rare. In a review of the literature Clagett and Johnson (1949) were able to record 30 cases, to which they added four of their own. Of these cases, 18 were malignant and 16 were benign. Primary cysts constituted only a very small proportion of the cases, and in recording a case of mesothelial cyst of the diaphragm Aufses and Oseasohn (1949) stated ...
