Congenital cervical bronchogenic cyst

Cervical bronchogenic cysts: a consideration in the differential diagnosis of pediatric cervical cystic masses

“…Abnormal budding may result in the formation of a supernumerary bronchus (if in continuity with the developing tracheobronchial airway) or a bronchogenic cyst (if not in continuity with the developing tracheobronchial airway). Cervical bronchogenic cysts likely result from abnormal budding of the proximal aspect of the trachea [1,2].…”

Suprasternal bronchogenic cyst

“…A total of 86 cutaneous or subcutaneous bronchogenic cysts have been reported in the English literature [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. These cysts are more common in boys (74%).…”

“…The differential diagnosis of congenital cervical cysts in children include branchial cleft cysts, bronchogenic cysts, epidermal inclusion cysts, thymic cysts, thyroid cysts, cystic teratomas, thyroglossal duct cysts, and cystic hygromas [3,16]. If only ciliated cysts are considered, the differential narrows to branchial cyst, bronchogenic cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, and thymic cyst.…”

Paraesophageal Bronchogenic Cyst

“…Communicating cysts are almost always symptomatic with cough, fever, sputum and haemoptysis. Differential diagnosis includes lymphadenopathy, cysts of foregut or pericardial origin, pulmonary sequestration, teratoma, lipoma, hamartoma and neurogenic tumours [5,6]. While paraesophageal bronchogenic cysts are uncommon, a paraesophageal bronchogenic cyst that communicates with the oesophagus is rare.…”
