“…Due to the lack of characteristic clinical features, RBCs are often accidentally identified and diagnosed by imaging examinations, such as computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ( 7 ). However, due to their rarity, location, variable cystic content, and non-specific imaging, they are frequently misinterpreted as cystic teratomas, adrenal tumors, or other benign and malignant retroperitoneal lesions ( 7 – 9 ). Although benign lesions, surgical resection is recommended to establish the diagnosis, alleviate symptoms, and prevent complications or malignant transformation ( 1 , 10 ).…”

IntroductionBronchogenic cyst is a congenital aberration of bronchopulmonary malformation with bronchial-type, pseudostratified cylindrical epithelium. They are usually discovered in the mediastinum and intrapulmonary but are rarely encountered in retroperitoneum. We report a case of the retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst and perform a literature review to summarize the safety of laparoscopic resection for this rare disease.Case presentationWe report a 57-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with no clinical symptoms and was found by chance to have masses in the adrenal gland area during a routine physical examination. An abdominal CT examination revealed a cystic lesion was found in the left suprarenal region. Afterward, the patient underwent a laparoscopic exploration. Histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. The patient recovered uneventfully without signs of recurrence during a 1-year follow-up period.ConclusionBronchogenic cyst is rare in the retroperitoneal region. It should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of a retroperitoneal neoplasm, especially in the left retroperitoneal region. Laparoscopic surgery is technically feasible and safe for the treatment of patients with a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst.

Rare pancreatic tumors

et al. 2017

In this review, we will focus on rare pancreatic tumors. Most of these tumors do not have distinct characteristic appearances so the key to diagnosis requires a combination of imaging appearance, laboratory data, patient demographics, and associated medical syndromes in order to narrow the differential diagnosis. Nonetheless, imaging plays a vital role in narrowing the differential and guiding management. While there are many variant pathologic entities that cannot be encompassed by a single review, we aim to illustrate the imaging appearance of less common pancreatic tumors highlighting key distinctive diagnostic characteristics and discuss the implications for management. While there is overlap in the imaging appearances of many of these entities, for educational purposes, lesions will be categorized into solid (hypoenhancing and hyperenhancing), cystic lesions, mesenchymal neoplasms, and neoplasms seen in younger patients (< 40 years).
