“…Five patients had prolonged air leakage as the postoperative complication (23%). The median duration of postoperative hospitalization was 6 days (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). VATS patients' hospital stay duration (p = 0.03), drainage duration (p = 0.03), operative time (p = 0.013), and VAS score (p < 0.001) of the patients operated by VATS were found to be statistically significantly lower than thoracotomy group.…”

Background: Bronchogenic cyst is a generally benign and rare congenital anomaly. The mediastinum and lung parenchyma are the most common sites the cysts occur. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of thoracoscopy and thoracotomy for the treatment of bronchogenic cysts.Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients were operated on in Dr. Suat Seren Thoracic Surgery Clinic between 2004 and 2019 with the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgery method as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or thoracotomy.Demographic and operative features, radiological findings, and complications were retrospectively analyzed.Results: Patients underwent either VATS (10 patients) or thoracotomy (11 patients). Sixteen patients underwent simple cyst excision, whereas parenchymal resection was performed for five patients. The mean Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) value was 3.5 ± 1.1 for the VATS group and 6.5 ± 1 for the thoracotomy group. Duration of hospital stay and chest drainage was 4.2 ± 1.7 and 3.2 ± 1.7 days, respectively, in the VATS group, while in the thoracotomy group, it was 7.1 ± 4.5 and 6.1 ± 4.5 days. The time of hospitalization stay, duration of chest drainage, operative time, and VAS values were found statistically significantly lower in the VATS group.Conclusions: Both VATS and thoracotomy are preferred surgical methods in bronchogenic cyst surgery.VATS is superior to thoracotomy in terms of shorter hospital stay, chest drainage duration, operative time, and lower postoperative pain level. Minimally invasive methods can be chosen safely for the treatment of bronchogenic cyst in appropriate cases.

“…Intrathymic or anterior mediastinal bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare [7,8] and Taniwaki et al published the first case of bronchogenic cyst within thymus in 1997 [7]. Table 1 presents the reported cases of bronchogenic cysts located in the thymus and perithymic fat tissue during recent 20 years and most of the reported cases of anterior mediastinal or intrathymic bronchogenic cysts presented as well‐circumscribed, fluid‐filled lesions on the chest CT [8–13]. Unusual locations of bronchogenic cyst other than anterior mediastinum were reported in skin, subcutaneous tissue, neck, mesentery of bowel, or intramedullary part of the spine [14].…”

Bronchogenic cysts mimicking thymoma in the anterior mediastinum

Bronchogenic cysts are commonly located in the middle mediastinal compartment as fluid-filled cysts and thymoma is one of the most common neoplasms in the anterior mediastinum in adult cases. For two cases of asymptomatic, incidentally discovered anterior mediastinal soft tissue mass in adults, we planned to perform complete thymectomy with minimally invasive techniques based on the guidelines of International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group. Their pathological finding revealed cystic lesions lined by ciliated epithelium and this supported the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst rather than thymic neoplasm. We report the two cases of resected bronchogenic cysts which were in the unusual location of anterior mediastinum with uncommon radiological feature.

“…The bronchogenic cysts are usually asymptomatic and often diagnosed incidentally during routine chest roentgenogram for other reasons. The treatment options depend on the patients' age and symptoms at presentation [2]. In young patients the surgical resection of cysts is the only treatment of choice, however, in asymptomatic adult patients remains controversial owing to the unpredictability complications or degeneration.…”

“…Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions derived from abnormal budding of the embryonic foregut. The mediastinum or lung location of bronchogenic cysts are related to the time of separation from the tracheobronchial tree [2].…”

A case report of congenital bronchial diverticulum and bronchogenic cyst presenting with a whistle

Congenital diverticula of the left main bronchus are extremely rare in the adult. Bronchial diverticula could act as a reservoir for bronchial secretions and theoretically predispose to repeated respiratory infections. We reported a diverticulum originating from the left main bronchus with recurrent bronchopneumonia and whistling since 15 years of age. Additionally, our case had a paraaortic mediastinal bronchogenic cyst. Physical examination demonstrated whistling in the expiratory phase, which appeared when he was lying on his back or his left side. Flexible bronchoscopy showed a round-shaped lumen of the left main bronchus and bubbling from slits or indentations of the bronchial mucosa in the left main bronchus. Because our patient complained of whistling and history of recurrent bronchopneumonia infection due to bronchial diverticulum, he was operated. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no case of congenital bronchial diverticula localized in the left main bronchus associated with a paraaortic mediastinal bronchogenic cyst in the medical literature.
