Thoracoscopic excision of two bronchogenic cysts located in highest upper mediastinum: Report of two cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital malformation that need surgical removal. To date, bronchogenic cysts located in highest upper mediastinum excised by thoracoscopy have not been reported, though complete thoracoscopic extirpation of a bronchogenic cyst has been reported before. We excised two highest upper bronchogenic cysts by thoracoscopy successfully without any postoperative complication, demonstrating thoracoscopy could be a first-line therapeutic option even for highest upper mediastinum brochogenic cysts.

The patients were a 19-year-old male, a 36-year-old female and a 33-year-old female, whose cysts were detected as abnormal shadows in the chest. In 2 of them, neurogenic tumors were suspected preoperatively. We performed thoracoscopic resection for the 3 tumors. Bronchogenic cysts may occur ectopically, a...

Imaging studies, such as high resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilitate the evaluation of mediastinal masses. However, the definite characterization of such masses can be ascertained only after tissue sampling is obtained and analyzed. Some mediastinal masses, like bronchogenic cysts, can be misdiagnosed as solid masses or lymphadenopathy in imagi...

are most frequently located in the mediastinum along the trachebronchial tree (1). However, they may arise in many other locations, and intrapulmonary, intrapericardial, abdominal and retroperitoneal locations have been reported (1, 2). A subphrenic location of bronchogenic cysts is extremely rare and only about 60 such cases have been reported in the English medical literature. We report here ...
متن کاملUnusual presentation of dysphagia caused by bronchogenic cyst
Bronchogenic cysts in the mediastinum are a rare condition. Progressive enlargement of the cyst may cause compression of adjacent organs. 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...
