چکیده
Bronchogenic cysts are benign congenital malformations derived from the tracheobronchial tree that correspond to non-functioning lung tissue.1,2 The majority of cases are diagnosed in the pediatric population.3 In adults they are fundamentally found in mediastinum and lung parenchyma.3 However, they can sometimes be located in the thoracic wall, abdomen or cervical region4; in the cervical area, they can be mistaken for another type of less common cervical lesion. We present the case of an adult patient who presented with a cervical mass whose definitive diagnosis was bronchogenic cyst.
