Bronchogenic cyst is a benign congenital developmental abnormality of the embryonic foregut. The skin is a rare site for bronchogenic cysts, and in this location it is often a solitary lesion. It is poorly recognized by clinicians and in almost all cases the diagnosis is established by histopathologic examination. This report documents a new case of multiple cutaneous bronchogenic cysts bilater...

INTRODUCTION Bronchogenic cysts are lesions of congenital origin derived from the primitive foregut and are the most common primary cysts of the mediastinum. They are most frequently unilocular and contain clear fluid. Respiratory distress is the most common presentation in pediatric patients, manifested by recurring episodes of cough, stridor, wheezing and retractions. CASE PRESENTATION We r...

BACKGROUND We herein report a case of a bronchogenic cyst arising from the esophagogastric junction treated by laparoscopic full-thickness extirpation. The full-thickness defect was closed by hand sewing a T-shaped line over the gastroendoscope as a bougie to prevent postoperative deformity or stenosis. Partial fundoplication (Toupet fundoplication) was added to prevent reflux. CASE PRESENTAT...

Cutaneous bronchogenic cysts are rare, and stem from developmental abnormalities of the tracheobronchial tree. The condition is often misdiagnosed clinically, with the correct diagnosis usually established by histopathologic examination. Published reports of bronchogenic or branchial anomalies are increasing, and the traditional defining characteristics of location and histopathology are provin...

Introduction Bronchogenic cysts are one of the types of primary cardiac tumors that can occur. They arise in the interatrial septum, especially near the atrioventricular node, which may cause atrioventricular block owing to its location. The incidence of these cardiac tumors is very low. Previous case reports regarding bronchogenic cysts of the interatrial septum have shown association of bronc...

We report a very rare case of a bronchogenic cyst combined with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease in an immunocompetent patient. A 21-year-old male was referred to our institution because of a cough, fever, and worsening of abnormalities on his chest radiograph, despite anti-tuberculosis treatment. Computed tomography of the chest showed a large multi-cystic mass over the right-upp...

Bronchogenic cyst is a benign congenital developmental abnormality of the embryonic foregut. It is usually formed as a result of an accessory lung bud becoming isolated from the rest of the trachea-bronchial tree. It is usually a solitary extra pulmonary cyst and is a benign condition found most commonly in the mediastinum with rare occurrence in the skin or subcutaneous tissues. The skin is a ...

BACKGROUND Bronchogenic cyst is a congenital malformation, rarely located in the cervical region and almost never involved in a neonate with acute respiratory distress in the delivery room. CASE PRESENTATION A female newborn with respiratory distress syndrome caused by a large left cervical mass. Intubation was difficult due to tracheal deviation. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a left c...

OBJECTIVE To discuss the clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic characteristics of cervical bronchogenic cysts. DESIGN Retrospective case study using a pathologic database at our institution. SETTING Pediatric hospital. PATIENTS Eight patients with cervical bronchogenic cysts were identified in the past 13 years (January 1994 to December 2007). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The patients' cli...
