Bronchogenic Cyst Presenting as Mediastinal Mass with Pleural Effusion and Unusual Bronchoscopic Findings: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Bronchogenic cyst is a benign congenital developmental abnormality. It is most commonly located in middle mediastinum. Its association with pleural effusion is rare. Sometimes it may present with a fixed compression over trachea or oesophagus. We report the rare occurrence of bronchogenic cyst in antero-superior mediastinum mimicking a mass lesion with right-sided pleural effusion and tracheal compression only during expiration in a 39-year-old male.
