“…Immunopositivity for cytokeratin (CK)7 and thyroid transcription factor 1 and immunonegativity for CK20 and calretinin in the epithelial lining also strongly support a diagnosis of bronchogenic cysts[ 7 , 11 ]. In terms of treatment, as ectopic bronchogenic cysts can be ectopic to different organs, the speed at which they develop and their biological behaviors vary[ 1 , 2 ]. Ectopic bronchogenic cysts are also easily confused with cystic diseases of adjacent organs, patients with bronchogenic cysts or suspected ectopic bronchogenic cysts should be examined by a surgeon, especially when the cyst is small as it may be missed.…”

BACKGROUND Ectopic bronchogenic cysts are a type of congenital cystic tumor that are extremely difficult to diagnose and can be ectopically located in various organs, with the possibility of malignant transformation. Here we report a case of an ectopic bronchogenic cyst in the liver initially misdiagnosed as a gallbladder diverticulum. CASE SUMMARY The patient was a middle-aged woman whose chief complaint was intermittent pain in the upper abdomen. Imaging examination revealed a cystic space in the left inner lobe of the liver. She was admitted to our hospital for treatment. Based on abdominal examination and imaging findings, the initial diagnosis was gallbladder diverticulum with cholestasis combined with chronic cholecystitis. However, following intraoperative observations and postoperative pathologic assessment, the diagnosis was revised to ectopic bronchogenic cyst of the liver. CONCLUSION Radiologists, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeons, gastrointestinal surgeons, urologists, and even neurosurgeons should be aware and consider a possible diagnosis of ectopic bronchogenic cysts, especially when other types of cyst, cystadenoma, and other diseases are excluded. The disease and its complications should be detected and correctly diagnosed and treated as early as possible in order to avoid adverse outcomes.

Subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts: Case series and literature review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations caused by aberrant foregut budding. They major occur in the thorax, with subdiaphragmatic cases being uncommon. Here, we present a series of 19 patients diagnosed with subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts histopathologically at a single institution in China from 2012 to 2021. A literature review was also conducted by searching the PubMed database using keywords related to “bronchogenic cysts” and “subdiaphragmatic,” yielding 107 cases. Taken together, the 126 cases had a median age of 41.0 years (interquartile range, 30.0–51.0 years) and 62 of them were male (49.2%). The cysts were most commonly detected in the left adrenal region (36.2%), followed by the pancreatic region (11.5%) and gastric cardia/lesser curvature of the stomach (9.2%). All patients except two underwent surgery for a definite diagnosis, symptom alleviation, and (or) malignancy prevention. Most patients recovered fast and were discharged from the hospital within 1 week after surgery, and the surgical complications were infrequent. The prognosis was generally favorable, as no recurrence was reported during the follow-up as long as 77 months.
