Bronchogenic cysts are foregut-derived developmental anomalies most commonly encountered in the mediastinum and rarely in the abdomen or retroperitoneally. A comprehensive review of the English-language literature of subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts (sBCs) revealed only 48 reported cases of sBC. Although most cases are incidentally discovered, preoperative differential diagnosis often includes tumors with malignant potential and necessitates surgical resection to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Herein, we describe a case of a 46-year-old female presenting with intermittent left flank pain, upon which computed tomography demonstrated a retroperitoneal mass. Upon resection, histopathology revealed the mass to be a thin-walled cystic mass lined by ciliated columnar cells and cartilage, consistent with a subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst. A comprehensive literature review of sBC was also performed.

“…Complicated cysts have high attenuation on CT and show high signal intensity on unenhanced T1-weighted MRI sequences [4,6]. A retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst can mimic an adrenal or a pancreatic lesion and a teratoma or a urothelial cyst radiologically [1,2,5,6]. MRI is superior to CT in the diagnosis and can easily exclude fat-containing lesions like teratomas or dermoid cysts on fat suppression images [4].…”

“…MRI is superior to CT in the diagnosis and can easily exclude fat-containing lesions like teratomas or dermoid cysts on fat suppression images [4]. Most cases are asymptomatic but can also present with pain or be secondarily infected or compress adjacent organs causing symptoms [1,2,[4][5][6][7]. Surgical excision is the treatment to avoid secondary infection, and no recurrence is expected [6].…”

Retroperitoneal Bronchogenic Cyst Originating from Diaphragmatic Crura

et al. 2014

Bronchogenic cyst is a benign lesion which is commonly seen in the posterior mediastinum. Diaphragmatic origin in retroperitoneum is an unusual location for a bronchogenic cyst. Cross-sectional imaging modalities describe the origin and content of the cyst evidently. Magnetic resonance (MR) images of a 42-year-old male patient who attended ER with back pain revealed a huge retroperitoneal complicated bronchogenic cyst arising from the diaphragm and surrounding the abdominal aorta anteriorly. Bronchogenic cysts in the retroperitoneum rarely originate from the diaphragm and should be kept in mind in the differential diagnoses of abdominal cystic lesions. MR imaging (MRI) is superior to other imaging techniques such as computerized tomography (CT) in detecting the origin and content of these cystic lesions.Keywords Bronchogenic cyst . Retroperitoneal space . Magnetic resonance imaging . Diaphragm Case SummaryA 42-year-old male presenting with back pain attended to emergency service. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a retroperitoneal hypodense lesion located anterior to aorta with a CT number of 20 Hounsfield units. Contrast-enhanced abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 9×6× Fig. 1 Axial fat suppression-spoiled gradient echo T1-weighted precontrast image (a) shows rather hyperintense component (white arrows) inside the cyst. Single-shot fast spin echo T2-weighted image with fat saturation (b) shows that it corresponds to a fluid-fluid level (black arrows) regarding methemoglobin, mucin, or protein content of the cyst

“…The differential diagnosis of a retroperitoneal cyst lined by pseudostratified, ciliated, columnar epithelium includes other cysts of foregut origin, cysts of urogenital origin, a cystic teratoma or a bronchopulmonary sequestration 20,23,29,32,42 (Table 3). As already mentioned, cysts originating from the primitive foregut can be classified into bronchogenic, enterogeneous and undifferentiated.…”

A Bronchogenic Cyst, Presenting as a Retroperitoneal Cystic Mass

et al. 2012

Bronchogenic cysts are mostly benign, congenital abnormalities originating from the remnants of the primitive foregut. A retroperitoneal location is rare. Due to the mostly asymptomatic behavior and the historical confusion regarding histology, an exact prevalence is not known. We present here a case report of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. A literature review was performed for cases of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts written in English. Anatomopathological criteria for inclusion were pseudo stratified, ciliated, columnar epithelium together with the presence of at least one of the following: cartilage, smooth muscle or seromucous glands. In addition, the embryology, pathogenesis, radiological, clinical and suggested treatment modalities are reviewed. We report the surgical excision of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst that presented as a non-functioning left adrenal mass. Our review of literature revealed only 62 potential cases of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts. After applying the strict anatomopathological criteria, only 30 cases of true retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts could be identified. Retroperitoneal location of a bronchogenic cyst is rare. Despite the rarity of this pathologic entity, bronchogenic cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal cystic lesions. Only histology can confirm definitive diagnosis. Surgery remains the recommended treatment of choice.
