“…Bronchogenic cysts are congenital anomalies that arise early in gestation from the budding of the developing respiratory systems (1). Bronchogenic cysts are seldom seen in adults, and most are thought to be asymptomatic and free of complications unless they become infected (2-4).…”

A mass of 8 cm in diameter was revealed in the right upper lung field of a 46-year-old female patient. The chest X-ray film taken one year previously revealed only a linear shadow in the same position, which was thought to be a vacant cyst. The levels of carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 in cyst fluid and serum were elevated, at 410,000 and 130 U/ml, respectively. After surgical resection, serum CA19-9 returned to normal. Pathologically, the cyst wall was lined with bronchial epithelium with no evidence of malignancy. Immunohistochemical study revealed CA19-9 positivity in the bronchial epithelium of the cyst wall.

“…Mediastinal bronchogenic cysts account for 10-15% of all primary mediastinal masses [1,2], Until recently, any treatment other than observation of these lesions has entailed a thoracotomy for total resec tion, although less invasive techniques such as thoraco scopic resection [3] or drainage either percutaneously [4] or transbronchially via fiberoptic bronchoscopy [5] have been advocated. We report a patient with a recurrent mediastinal bronchogenic cyst noted 25 years after an incomplete resection.…”
