We report 3 cases of patients with bronchogenic cyst arising in the posterior mediastinum. 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...

we report a rare case of congenital foregut cysts (esophageal bronchogenic cyst) in a young woman with history of long term dysphagia. she presented with dysphagia and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed bulge submucosal lesion in the distal of the esophagus. endoscopic ultrasound showed a 3×3 cm cystic lesion suggestive for esophageal duplication or bronchogenic cyst. computed tomography o...

Bronchogenic cysts are classified as a type of congenital foregut cyst. They are usually extrapulmonary and occur mostly along the tracheobronchial tree. Intracardiac bronchogenic cysts are very rare. As far as we know, only 3 cases have been reported previously. This paper presents a unique case of a 70-year-old male who was diagnosed with a bronchogenic cyst in the interatrial septum with a c...

Bronchogenic cysts result from an abnormal budding or branching of the tracheobronchial tree. Approximately 30% of the cysts are located in the mediastinum and the remaining 70% in the lung. The cyst may be joined to the tracheobronchial tree by a fistula or by a fibrous band. Pulmonary bronchogenic cysts occur most frequently in the lower lobes, primarily on the right side. They are thin-walle...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Bronchogenic cysts are developmental anomalies of the primitive foregut which mostly occur in the lung. Gastric bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare; few cases have been reported in the literature and the diagnosis was often made following surgical resection. CASE PRESENTATION A 40-year-old North African man was admitted to our hospital with a gastric submucosal ma...

Bronchogenic cysts are congenital anomalies of the bronchial tree that are often asymptomatic at presentation in adults. Management of asymptomatic bronchogenic cyst in this population remains controversial. Eighteen patients with bronchogenic cysts were treated at our institution since 1975. At initial presentation, 10 patients (56 percent) were asymptomatic and 8 (44 percent) were symptomatic...

OBJECTIVE Bronchogenic and esophageal duplication cysts are congenital anomalies of the tracheobronchial tree and foregut that are often asymptomatic at initial presentation in adults. Surgery is always recommended, even for patients with asymptomatic disease, because of the possible development of symptoms and complications during the natural course of the disease and because definitive diagno...

We reported a 54-year-old asymptomatic man who received PET-CT scan for physical health examination at our hospital. In PET-CT scan, we incidentally found a left suprarenal tumor located adjacent to diaphragmatic crus with almost no FDG activity. This tumor was cystic in nature and slightly enlarged in size on CT scan one year later. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy and resection of this suprarenal t...

Bronchogenic cysts are developmental errors of the tracheobronchial tree. Various clinical presentations from incidental detection to symptomatic have been described but presenting as acute bronchial asthma is relatively rare. A 3-year-old male child repeatedly presented with asthmatic attacks. Initially treated and evaluated for foreign body. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scans ...

Bronchogenic cyst is a common primary of the mediastinum, and it usually located in middle mediastinum intrapulmonary regions. cysts are lesions congenital origin that occur due to abnormal budding from primitive ventral foregut. They pediatric age group have symptoms respiratory distress, recurrent cough, wheezing, stridor. Definitive management involves surgical excision. We herein report our...
