Esophageal bronchogenic cyst successfully excised by endoscopic mucosal resection

Unusual presentation of dysphagia caused by bronchogenic cyst

“…Other alternative strategies have been reported, including endoscopic mucosal resection. 4 With the development and maturation of thoracoscopic techniques, thoracoscopic resection provides a less invasive and still safe method to completely resect such a cyst. 5,6 We believe that thoracoscopic techniques can be safely applied for complete resection of a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst provided that the patient can understand the risks and limitations.…”

Intramural Esophageal Bronchogenic Cyst: Mimicking Malignity and Support of PET-CT in The Diagnosis

“…But surgeon have to preserve the esophageal mucosa in this procedure (1,4,9). Endoscopic trans-esophageal needle aspiration and endoscopic mucosal resection are among the reported successful methods for IEBC (1,10). In addition, esophagectomy is one of the treatment options in the suspected malignity and cyst have occurred damages as not to allow primary repair in the esophageal mucosa (4,9).…”

Intramural Bronchogenic Cysts Mimicking Solid Tumors

“…If the cyst is symptomatic, conventional or thoracoscopic enucleation can be applied [6 ± 8]. Alternatives to surgery include transesophageal needle aspiration, and even a successful removal by transoral endoscopic resection has been reported for a cyst that was located in the esophageal wall [9]. Frequently, complete surgical excision is the therapy of choice in symptomatic cysts, due to the high risk of infection, rupture, hemorrhage, or, although extremely rare, malignant degeneration [10,11].…”
