Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of Arising from a Bronchogenic Cyst of the Diaphragm.

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Bronchogenic cysts may rupture or become infected, and malignant degeneration may occur. Although various types of malignant degeneration have been described, only a few reports of mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from a bronchogenic cyst have been published. We report such a case. CASE A 77-year-old female was referred to our institution for evaluation of left chest pain. A computed tomography scan showed an enhancing 65 × 70 mm mass of the left diaphragm. Based on the intraoperative findings of an intradiaphragmatic tumor involving the lower lobe of the left lung, the resection of the tumor with the wedge resection of left lower lobe and partial resection of the left diaphragm was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed a mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from a bronchogenic cyst of the diaphragm with the presence of fibrous adhesion to the lower lobe. CONCLUSION We believe that complete resection of any bronchogenic cyst is justified.
