A 23-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of chest discomfort and dyspnea for the previous 3 months. Upper endoscopy showed a 2.5×2.0cm bulging lesion in the distal esophagus (●" Fig.1). Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a 1.1×2.5cm hypoechoic cystic lesion arising from the muscularis propria (●" Fig.2). Endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) was performed using a h...

BACKGROUND Scapular bronchogenic cyst (SBC) is rare. METHODS A sinus on a boy's left scapula was excised. RESULTS Histopathological analysis showed the epithelium with scattered PAS-positive goblet cells was positive for CEA and CK7. CONCLUSION SBC should be suspected of a superficial scapular skin lesion in children.

A previously healthy 52-year-old male presented with a several week history of progressive exertional dyspnea. Physical examination and electrocardiogram were unremarkable. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) was performed (Fig. 1). Initially it was thought that a membrane was within a large left atrium (LA). To further delineate the LA and its anatomy, peripheral injection of sonicated contra...

Intracranial bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are uncommon, and BCs at the craniocervical junction are extremely rare. These lesions are most frequently encountered in the cervico-thoracic region of the spine. Their pathogenesis is still poorly understood. Regardless of the surgical approach, the aim of surgery should be total removal of the cyst and its content, whenever feasible. In this case report,...

Bronchogenic cyst is considered as an uncommon congenital anomaly. It can be mostly found in mediastinum or lung. Intracardiac bronchogenic cyst is very rare. We found 2 cases in more than 20000 cardiac surgical cases in our department. The 2 cases bronchogenic cyst arose from interatrial septum (IAS), the preoperative diagnosis were myxoma, but the histological diagnosis were bronchogenic cyst...

Peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with bronchogenic carcinoma were tested in microcytotoxicity assays against cultured bronchogenic cancer cells, other types of tumor cells, and skin fibroblasts. Lymphocytes from patients who were postresection with no clinical evidence of residual or recurrent tumor were more frequently toxic against bronchogenic carcinoma than were lymphocytes from n...
