چکیده
Personal experience in the diagnosis and management of two patients, one adult and one child, with pathologically proven bronchogenic cysts is described. Both patients presented with a solitary neck mass that proved to be bronchogenic cysts on histological examination. Aim of the review is to define the cytology, histopathological and clinical characteristics of bronchogenic cysts and discuss the features that distinguish them from other cervical cysts. Definitive treatment requires surgical excision.
