“…In congenital cases, it is thought they result from abnormal embryonic foregut development. 12 In people, bronchogenic cysts have been reported within the mediastinal, pulmonary, cervical, retroperitoneal, pericardial, paravertebral, and perianal regions. While the majority of human cases are found in the mediastinum, there is no known report of mediastinal bronchogenic cysts in veterinary patients.…”

An 8‐year‐old male Yorkshire terrier was presented to the Tufts Veterinary Hospital for evaluation of increased respiratory effort. A mediastinal mass composed of a spindle‐cell thymoma within a bronchogenic cyst was diagnosed with computed tomography thoracic imaging, ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspirate biopsy, and histopathologic evaluation after surgical removal. Histologic evaluation showed a multilocular cyst structure as well as a mass characterized by spindle to polygonal thymic epithelial cells. The cyst was characterized by a lining of ciliated pseudostratified respiratory epithelium. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a spindle‐cell thymoma being associated with a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst in a dog.

“…Bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are rare congenital malformations that arise during foregut development and affect the mediastinum in approximately 70% of the cases 1 2. They mainly occur in the posterosuperior mediastinum, with a frequency of one in 42–68 000 people 3. BCs can be detected in infants, children and adults 3 4.…”

Bronchogenic cyst: a rare cause of palpitations and atrial fibrillation

Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital lesions found primarily in the mediastinum. Most patients are asymptomatic and can be treated with minimally invasive resection. We present a case of a middle-aged patient who presented to a district general hospital with palpitations and shortness of breath. She underwent a computerised tomographic pulmonary angiogram that showed a likely bronchogenic cyst and was subsequently transferred to our hospital. She developed atrial fibrillation during admission requiring therapy with beta-blockers and digoxin. Cardiac MRI revealed a large cyst posterior to the left atrium, a moderate circumferential pericardial effusion and bilateral pleural effusions. There was significant left atrial compression. The patient underwent surgical removal of the cyst and was discharged. She returned to the hospital within a week with palpitations and was treated with intravenous antibiotics for sepsis. She was discharged a week later and remained clinically stable.
