“…The use of either ultrasonography, computer tomography (CT) or MRI is desirable to delineate the size and location and may suggest the nature of the lesion prior to surgical excision. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] There are no specific radiological pathognomonic features of cervical bronchogenic cysts, however, and the diagnosis may only be confirmed by histological analysis. Characteristically, they are unilocular cysts which contain thick mucoid or serous secretions.…”

Bronchogenic cysts are rare, benign, congenital lesions that occur as a result of aberrant development of the tracheobronchial tree during embryogenesis. They usually present during the first decade of life and are encountered predominantly within the mediastinum or the lung parenchyma. In a few instances, they appear within the neck mimicking a neoplasm and, depending on their size and site, may also cause acute upper respiratory obstruction. We describe a case of two cervical bronchogenic cysts adjacent to the larynx in a child who presented with a hoarse voice.

A 14-year-old male was found to have a mediastinal mass on chest radiograph. Chest computed tomography scans showed a cystic lesion behind the left main bronchus. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed additional cystic lesions in the left chest and root of the neck. He underwent excision of mediastinal mass and a pleural cyst. The neck lesion was presumed to be a cystic hygroma. Histological examination of the two lesions resected showed them to be a foregut cyst and a benign mesothelial cyst. We know of no other report of concurrent multicystic lesions in the chest and neck and hypothesize that these cysts may have a common embryonic origin.
