Bronchogenic cysts are congenital cystic lesions caused by abnormal budding of the primitive tracheobronchial tube. Most bronchogenic cysts are found in the mediastinum, whereas abdominal bronchogenic cysts are rare with only 39 cases reported in the literature to date. The indication of surgical intervention is still controversial in previous studies. In the present study, we report a case of a bronchogenic cyst of the stomach in an adult who was treated by wedge excision.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
