“…Fifty to 80% of the patients are symptomatic on presentation but an incidental ®nding on radiographic examination is not rare. They are slightly more common in men and are mainly discovered in the third or fourth decade of life [1,2]. The most frequent symptoms are pain, cough, fever or dyspnea, but severe hemoptysis is rarely reported [3,4].…”

Bronchogenic cysts result from congenital disorders, are often asymptomatic at diagnosis, but complications are not uncommon. We report the case of a 19-year-old woman with severe hemoptysis. This rare presentation of an intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst should be considered as differential diagnosis in patients with cavernous lesion of a lobe. Surgery was performed as a diagnostic and therapeutic measure.

“…Approximately 200 cases of CCAM have been described so far [1,2]. Most cases are found in infants younger then 1 year, though the lesions have been seen in children up to 14 yrs of age [3]. CLOUTIER et al [1] concluded that only 17% of cases have been reported in children more than 1 year of age.…”

“…CLOUTIER et al [1] concluded that only 17% of cases have been reported in children more than 1 year of age. Older children with CCAM most often present clinical symptoms of recurrent chest infection [3,4]. Although CCAM are of three different pathological types [2], the only one usually compatible with survival over the neonatal period is type 1.…”

An 11 year old boy with a right hemithorax deformity and diminished breathing sounds in the right lung was referred to our department, following examination by a physician due to knee pain caused by flat-footedness. He had a history of recurrent viral infections of the upper airways in early childhood since the age of 3 yrs. He has been free of pulmonary complaints. Bronchitis was diagnosed only once. Pregnancy and delivery were normal. In the neonatal and infantile period the boy was in good health. The right hemithorax deformity was diagnosed at 4 yrs of age, but was interpreted as a complication of rachitis.On physical examination, the patient appeared well. He was thin (weight 24 kg, height 134 cm; 25th and below 3rd percentiles, respectively), had a markedly enlarged right hemithorax with a slight reduction of wall CASE FOR DIAGNOSIS. movement, respiratory rate 16 breaths·min -1 , blood pressure 110/70 mmHg, and pulse rate 80 beats·min -1 . Heart sounds were normal. Lung auscultation revealed weakness of breathing sounds over the right lung field. Intensification to percussion was noted over the lower two thirds of the right hemithorax. Clubbing was not observed. In laboratory evaluation and blood gas analysis, no abnormality was found. An electrocardiogram revealed incomplete right bundle branch block. Pulmonary function tests showed forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)=74% of predicted value and vital capacity (VC)=77% pred; all other parameters (including residual volume (RV) 132% pred, functional residual capacity (FRC) 106% pred, total lung capacity (TLC) 91% pred, and flow-volume curve) were normal. The patient's exercise activity was normal. A chest radiograph and computed tomography (CT) scan, are shown in figures 1 and 2.Fibrebronchoscopy revealed a small diverticulum (depth 2 mm) at the site of the right ninth segmental bronchus. Bronchial culture was negative. The right bronchographs are shown in figure 3a and b.

Bronchogenic cysts are uncommonly diagnosed in adults. Herein presented are 4 such cysts of the intaparenchymal variety which occurred in 3 adult Nigerians. The salient features illustrating the nuances and variations of their presentation in accordance with their location within the lungs are discussed in the context of the congenital origin of the cysts. The etiology is reviewed and the difficulties in diagnosis are discussed as well as the acceptability of the bronchogenic cyst as a differential diagnosis of common cystic pulmonary pathologies, especially if solitary, in adults.
