“…Although transesophageal needle aspiration has been suggested for diagnosis and treatment of both bronchogenic and esophageal cysts [15], the case presented here is in line with other reports that this aspiration does not lead to definitive diagnosis and might even have the potential of infecting the mass [16]. The present case clearly demonstrates why complete surgical removal of the cyst is highly recommended also by others [8, 14, 17, 18]. In fact in one of the largest series of bronchogenic cysts with 86 patients the authors report that more than 70% of the patients became symptomatic and/or experienced complications with prolonged observation [5].…”

“…Bronchogenic cysts are congenital abnormalities of foregut origin, more specifically of the bronchial tree [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Foregut cysts develop from the ventral wall of the foregut within the 3rd to the 6th week of embryogenesis [6, 7, 8]. Nonparasitic splenic cysts are classified as either primary (epithelial, true) or secondary (pseudo, false) based on the presence or absence of a cellular lining of their inner surface [9, 10, 11].…”

Background: Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital cystic lesions of foregut origin. They are the result of abnormal budding of the primitive tracheobronchial tube. Nonparasitic, true splenic cysts are another rare entity that might occur as incidental findings but may lead to deleterious courses in case of ruptures. Case Report: We report here the first case of the uncommon association of a paraesophageal bronchogenic cyst and multiple primary splenic cysts in a 23-year-old woman suffering from dysphagia and chest pain. Successful complete resection of the paraesophageal cyst was performed using an abdominal, transhiatal approach and splenic cysts were subjected to organ-preserving TA stapler resection. Conclusion: Thus far there is no proof or genetic indication for a direct association of bronchogenic cysts and multiple splenic cysts, however, the uncommon coincidence of both lesions in our patient might suggest a common origin. Difficulties in preoperative diagnosis, histopathological characteristics and surgical treatment modalities are presented.

“…Bronchogenic cysts are congenital cysts that can be seen in infants, children, or adults. The most common locations are intrathoracic and posterior mediastinum [2], followed by the abdomen [3] and skin [4]. The majority of cervical bronchogenic cysts are diagnosed in the pediatric population; these lesions are rare in adults [5].…”

Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital malformations of ventral foregut development. They are usually located in the mediastinum and intrapulmonary regions. Localization in the cervical area is unusual and the majority of cases reported have been found in the pediatric population: the literature reports few cases in adults. We describe a 57-year-old male who presented an asymptomatic right lateral neck mass. Diagnostic studies included chest X-ray, pharyngo-esophagus double-contrast X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and bronchoscopy. The mass was excised through a transverse right cervical skin incision. The right lateral neck mass of the patient was identified as a bronchogenic cyst. The embryology, the presentation, the pathological and radiological evaluation, treatment of the cyst and a review of the English literature are reported in this paper. Cervical bronchogenic cysts are usually diagnosed in the pediatric population; these lesions are rare in adults. We suggest that the clinical observation of an asymptomatic lateral neck mass in an adult should include the possibility of a bronchogenic cyst in the differential diagnosis. Surgical excision is the elective treatment for this tumor, in order to prevent complications including infection, compression symptoms, malignant transformation, and the rare but fatal air embolism.

“…Nakata et al [4] described a broad range of attenuation values, from Ϫ3 to 97 HU for mediastinal bronchogenic cysts. Extrapulmonal locations may include neck [6], skin [7], esophagus [8], liver [9,10], and retroperitoneum [11][12][13]. Frequent diagnostic difficulties and radiologic misinterpretations such as thyroid adenoma [14], traumatic aortic aneurysm [15], pericarditis [16], lobar emphysema [17], and pheochromocytoma [18] have been reported.…”

Bronchogenic cyst appearing as a hepatic mass

Because bronchogenic cysts may be found in or near any organ derived from the embryonic foregut, they sometimes pose considerable diagnostic difficulties. We describe the plain chest X-ray, computed tomographic, and angiographic findings in a patient with elevated CA 19-9 and upper quadrant abdominal pain due to a cystic tumor appearing as a hepatic mass. Surgery and histology showed a bronchogenic cyst located in the lower lobe of the right lung.
