“…MRI can be beneficial in demonstrating the cystic nature of what appeared to have a soft-tissue attenuation on the CT [ 9 ]. Unless there is no accompanied inflammation in the bronchogenic cyst or underlying intrathymic pathology like hyperplasia or invasive tumor the intrathymic bronchogenic cyst has no fludeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on the (PET/CT) [ 10 ].…”

BackgroundIntra-thymic bronchogenic cysts are a rare entity but should be considered in the differential of all non-invasive thymic masses.Case presentationWe describe a 50-year-old patient who was found to have an incidental thymic mass on computer tomography of the chest. Non-invasive thymoma was suspected and a thoracoscopic thymectomy was performed. Final pathology revealed a bronchogenic cyst.ConclusionIntra-thymic bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare tumors of the anterior mediastinum. It should be considered in differential diagnosis of anterior mediastinal masses.

Rationale:Liver heterotopia associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare condition; to the best of our knowledge, only 17 cases have been reported to date. The histogenesis and clinicopathological features are largely unknown. We herein report 2 cases of liver heterotopia associated with CDH along with 17 cases described in the literature to shed light on their clinicopathological characteristics.Patient concerns:Case 1 was a vaginally delivered male newborn who presented with respiratory distress immediately after birth. Case 2 was a female fetus who was found to have left-sided CDH during gestation.Diagnosis:In case 1, a chest X-ray revealed left-sided CDH. In case 2, magnetic resonance imaging performed at 33 weeks of gestation revealed left-sided CDH.Interventions:Case 1 underwent diaphragmatic patch repair surgery 3 days after birth. Histopathological examination following surgery in case 1 revealed the presence of ectopic liver tissue in the hernia sac. Case 2 was delivered by Cesarean section, and diaphragmatic patch surgery was performed 3 days after birth. During surgery, an isolated nodule was identified on the peritoneal side of the border of the defective foramen of the diaphragm. Histopathological examination following surgery in case 2 confirmed the presence of an epidermal cyst in the hernia sac. In addition, the isolated nodule was histopathologically found to be ectopic liver tissue.Outcomes:In Case 1, CDH recurred at 6 months after surgery, and a second patch repair surgery was performed. The surgically removed hernia sac was found to contain microscopic ectopic liver tissue on histopathology. Case 1 recovered well after surgery, and there was no critical change during the 10-month postoperative period. Case 2 recovered well after surgery, and there was no critical change during the 20-month postoperative period.Lessons:There were no secondary pathological conditions associated with the presence of ectopic liver in CDH, such as torsion, infarction, rupture, intra-abdominal bleeding, or tumorization. Our observations suggest that liver heterotopia is a rare but asymptomatic condition in patients with CDH.

“…The term of “cyst” is used in pathological conditions and it represents a closed structure surrounded by a capsule (a sac-like mass), either isolated or multiple-sited [ 27 , 28 ]. Anatomically, a cyst is a sac containing either liquid, gaseous or semi-solid substances, potentially involving any organ and varying in size from microscopic to extremely large (up to the level of displacing the host or neighboring organs ) [ 29 , 30 ].…”

Background and aimThe cysts may potentially affect any organ; adrenals cysts are rare. This is a review of the literature regarding adrenal cysts, focusing on children and young adults.General dataThree major types have been described: pure cysts (endothelial, epithelial, and hemorrhagic or pseudocyst), parasitic (as hydatid) cysts and cystic part of a tumour (most frequent are neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, pheocromocytoma, and teratoma). The complications are: bleeding, local pressure effects; infection; rupture (including post-traumatic); arterial hypertension due to renal vessels compression. Adrenal hemorrhage represents a particular condition associating precipitating factors such as: coagulation defects as Factor IX or X deficiency, von Willebrand disease, thrombocytopenia; antiphospholipid syndrome; previous therapy with clopidogrel or corticosteroids; the rupture of a prior tumour. At birth, the most suggestive features are abdominal palpable mass, anemia, and persistent jaundice. Adrenal insufficiency may be found especially in premature delivery. The hemorrhage is mostly self-limiting. Antenatal ultrasound diagnosis of a cyst does not always predict the exact pathology result. The most important differential diagnosis of adrenal hemorrhage/hemorrhagic cyst is cystic neuroblastoma which is highly suggestive in the presence of distant metastases and abnormal catecholamine profile. The major clue to differentiate the two conditions is the fact that the tumor is stable or increases over time while the adrenal hemorrhage is expected to remit within one to two weeks.ConclusionPediatric adrenal cysts vary from simple cysts with a benign behavior to neoplasia- related lesions displaying severe prognosis as seen in cystic neuroblastoma. A multidisciplinary team is required for their management which is conservative as close follow-up or it makes necessary different surgical procedures in cases with large masses or if a malignancy suspicion is presented. Recently, laparoscopic approach is regarded as a safe procedure by some authors but generally, open surgery is more frequent used compare to adults; in most cases the preservation of normal gland is advisable.
