“…A barium swallow test usually reveals a dilated hypertrophic esophagus or may show a smooth, polypoid, intraluminal space-occupying lesion and filling defects. CT of the chest shows low-density absorption of the mass, which is characteristic of adipose tissue [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. On positron emission tomography, lower uptake values are useful for distinguishing lipomas from other malignant lesions [ 7 ].…”

“…Esophageal diverticula are also uncommon benign pathologies, which can be located at any level of the esophagus, but the most common localization is the cervical part of the esophagus where they present as pulsion diverticula. They are classified either as traction or pulsion diverticula, and the primary treatment strategy is diverticulectomy [ 6 ]. To the best of our knowledge, esophageal diverticula requiring surgical manipulation after the resection of benign esophageal tumors have not been described before.…”

Esophageal lipoma is an uncommon benign tumor of the esophagus and accounts for only 0.4% of all benign neoplasms of the gastrointestinal system. The majority of these are located in the cervical part; only very few are located in the lower third of the esophagus. We discuss the case of a 37-year-old female who presented with dysphagia and an esophageal lipoma located in the lower third of the esophagus. The patient underwent right mini-thoracotomy and enucleation of lipoma. Histopathologic examination revealed adipose tissue with a collection of matured adipose tissue. We present the case because of the atypical localization of an esophageal lipoma and development of a diverticulum, which was caused by the lipoma and required an additional surgical procedure.

“…According to Maier, localization of these cysts can be: paratracheal, carinal, paraesophageal and hilar, and they can be connected with the tracheobronchial airways [1,7]. Intramural esophageal bronchogenic cyst which has a very rare localization [8] and intrapericardial bronchogenic cyst have been described in literature. Ectopic extrathoracic localization of bronchogenic cyst involves cervical, abdominal and subcutaneous cysts.…”

“…Huang et al reported a case of retroperitoneal uncomplicated bronchogenic cysts with no FDG uptake on 18 F-FDG PET/CT scans [7]. Yekeler et al also reported a case of an intramural esophageal bronchogenic cyst without FDG uptake on an 18 F-FDG PET/ CT scan [8]. This case also showed a paraadrenal tumor without definite FDG uptake in the left paraadrenal area.…”

A follow-up (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) PET/CT scan of a 57-year-old asymptomatic male who had undergone total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer revealed a 5.0 × 4.0-cm, well-defined, ovoid-shaped mass around the left adrenal gland without definite FDG uptake. On the adrenal CT scan, the left paraadrenal tumor showed high attenuation on the precontrast scan without enhancement. The average Hounsfield unit (HU) was 58.1 on the precontrast scan and 58.4 on the postcontrast scan. The patient underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy for resection of the left paraadrenal tumor. The final histopathologic examination revealed a bronchogenic cyst. Although retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts are rare, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal cystic tumors. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult, but a contrast-enhanced CT scan or (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan may be useful for differentiating hyperattenuated cysts from other soft tissue masses.
