Unusual presentation of dysphagia caused by bronchogenic cyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 usually curative. We report a patient who was successfully treated by thoracoscopic resection.

متن کاملBronchogenic cyst presenting as mediastinal mass with pleural effusion.
Mediastinal bronchogenic cysts are usually identified on computed tomography (CT) as well-defined masses of variable density that may contain rim calcifications. Pleural effusion has never been described in association with these cysts. We report two cases of bronchogenic cysts with unusual presentation because of an association with a pleural effusion not explained by pulmonary infection. The ...
