Bronchogenic cysts are mostly benign, congenital abnormalities originating from the remnants of the primitive foregut. A retroperitoneal location is rare. Due to the mostly asymptomatic behavior and the historical confusion regarding histology, an exact prevalence is not known. We present here a case report of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. A literature review was performed for cases of r...

Diagnosis: Congenital Bronchogenic Cyst The roentgenogram of the chest (Fig 1) demonstrates a large, oblique, homogeneous shadow with a sharp border in the right lower lobe. No calcifica-tion is seen within the lesion. Thoracotomy revealed a 3x5x2 cm thick-walled cystic mass filled with mucoid material deep within the right lower lobe. It showed no abnormal bronchial communication and had no sy...

BACKGROUND Neurenteric cysts are rare central nervous system lesions derived from an endodermal origin. There is no consensus concerning pathogenesis because of the paucity of occurrences. We report an immunohistochemical study of 10 cases with neurenteric cysts and postulate its pathogenesis. METHODS Ten patients underwent surgical treatment for neurenteric cysts from 1995 to 2015. We retros...

CONTEXT Foregut cystic malformations are common lesions in the mediastinum but are rarely found in subdiaphragmatic locations. Only a few cases have been described within the pancreas where they can easily be misdiagnosed as cystic neoplasms. CASE REPORT We herein present the case of a 37-year-old female with acute cholangitis in whom a diagnostic work-up revealed a 1 cm solid-cystic heteroge...

On palpation, sub-mental bony spur was felt. The defect was associated with limitation of neck extension. Surgery was offered. At operation the extent of the sinus was about 4-6mm. The skin defect along with its cranial and caudal lesions was excised. The surgical wound was closed with multiple z-plasties (Fig. 2). The postoperative recovery was uneventful. Histopathology of the specimen showed...

Introduction Pathologic alterations of the maxillary sinus, including antral pseudocysts, surgical ciliated cysts, and mucoceles of the maxillary sinus, may pose a diagnostic challenge. These conditions are often misdiagnosed, compromising the subsequent clinical and surgical approach. Although these lesions may present with similar clinical and imaginological features, their differential diagn...
