“…Bronchocele (bronchial mucocele) refers to a mucous-filled and dilated bronchus surrounded by aerated lung. [ 40 ] These can be the result of an obstructive lesion to the bronchial tree as in congenital bronchial atresia where they usually affect the apicoposterior segment of the left upper lobe. Other obstructive causes include benign or malignant bronchial neoplasms, bronchogenic cysts, and foreign bodies.…”

With increased exposure of patients to routine imaging, incidental benign intrathoracic masses are frequently recognized. Most have classical imaging features, which are pathognomonic for their benignity. The aim of this pictorial review is to educate the reader of radiological features of several types of intrathoracic masses. The masses are categorized based on their location/origin and are grouped into parenchymal, pleural, mediastinal, or bronchial. Thoracic wall masses that invade the thorax such as neurofibromas and lipomas are included as they may mimic intrathoracic masses. All examples are illustrated and include pulmonary hamartoma, pleural fibroma, sarcoidosis, bronchial carcinoid, and bronchoceles together with a variety of mediastinal cysts on plain radiographs, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Sometimes a multimodality approach would be needed to confirm the diagnosis in atypical cases. The study would include the incorporation of radionuclide studies and relevant discussion in a multidisciplinary setting.

“…Mucous glands' ducts obstruction, due to chronic inflammation or local trauma, is usually the trigger. Bronchocele most frequently develops in the presence of congenital bronchial hypoplasia, obturation (typically neoplasmatic) or rupture [11]. Both of the above lesions can be found in mediastinum and the differential diagnosis may require magnetic resonance imaging [12].…”
