Thoracoscopic resection of a paraaortic bronchogenic cyst

چکیده
Bronchogenic mediastinal cysts (BMC) represent 18% of primitive mediastinal tumors and the most frequent cystic lesions in this area. Nowadays, BMC are usually treated by VATS. However, the presence of major adhesions to vital structures is often considered as an unfavourable condition for thoracoscopic treatment. The authors report the thoracoscopic treatment of a BMC having dense adhesions to the aortic arch. Diagnosis and surgical treatment is described. Review of the literature and surgical options on this topic are discussed.

Dysphagia caused by bronchogenic cyst compression is quite rare. When a submucosal lesion is seen in panendoscopy, it should be included in one of the differential diagnoses. A complete resection, either by an open thoracotomy or thoracoscopic method, is usua...
