Bronchogenic cyst removal via thoracoscopic surgery in the prone position: A case report and literature review

Abstract: Highlights Bronchogenic cysts rarely arise from the diaphragm. Non-specific imaging features sometimes make a preoperative diagnosis difficult. An early diagnostic surgical excision is the most definitive method of management. Posterior mediastinal bronchogenic cysts can be excised thoracoscopically. Intraoperative prone positioning of the patient enhances the ease of this approach.

“…A CT-scan is used to identify location, size, shape, and its relationship with adjacent structures, unfortunately it is effective in only 10–40% of patients [ 13 ]. Other studies such as an MRI have higher diagnostic sensitivity given its high signal intensity in T2 images [ 14 ]. Additionally, MRI can be useful to determine the cyst’s origin, its relationship with other structures and can even determine the best surgical approach [ 13 ].…”

“…The definitive diagnosis of a bronchogenic cyst is histopathological with the surgical resection [ 3 ]. Typical findings include ciliated columnar epithelial cells along the inner lining [ 14 ]. The internal wall can also contain cartilage and smooth muscle tissue, but these are not essential for the diagnosis.…”

“…A CT scan is used to identify location, size, shape, and its relation with adjacent structures, however it only accurately identi es these characteristics in 10-40% of patients 7 . Other patients often require additional studies such as an MRI, which has shown a higher diagnostic use given its high signal intensity in T2 images 8 . Additionally, the MRI can be useful for determining the origin of the cyst lesion, its relation with other structures and can even determine the best surgical approach 7 .…”

“…As a result of hemorrhage, infection in the cyst or cyst enlargement compressing adjacent organs, patients with a bronchogenic cyst will have corresponding clinical symptoms, and a malignant transformation may occur. Therefore, it is suggested that the bronchogenic cyst should be resected in the early stage to relieve the clinical symptoms and prevent complications (27)(28)(29). The size and location of the lesion and its relationship with the surrounding organs will determine the specific operation procedure, but it will usually involve the complete excision of the cyst so as to avoid recurrence and other complications.…”
