“…For differential diagnosis, imaging assessment is mandatory. 17 Both CT and MRI clearly show not only the cystic nature of the lesion, but also its exact localisation and its relationship with adjacent structures. In our case, the position of the cyst in the posterior-lateral region of the neck (instead of the anterior one) suggested the diagnosis of a bronchogenic cyst (instead of a branchial one).…”

Lesions of the retropharyngeal space (RPS) are uncommon, and they generally present as solitary, painless masses, which are often cystic. They usually originate from branchial arches anomalies, and only in a few cases do they turn out to be bronchogenic cysts. Generally, these lesions are diagnosed in childhood, but sometimes they can appear in adulthood. We report here a rare case of a bronchogenic cyst expanding into the RPS and causing dysphagia in an adult patient treated surgically. Since the RPS is clinically inaccessible, clinical examination was not crucial in determining the correct diagnosis, and only the additional information provided by radiological examinations led to the final diagnosis, which is essential for accurate surgical planning.

“…In our studies, 7 cases were located in the neck, 1 case in the tongue and 1 case in the posterior pharyngeal wall, which was consistent with the literature. BCs in the head and neck region are usually asymptomatic cystic lesions, and most cases are found during physical examinations (8), unless they are large enough to cause compression of the surrounding tissue or secondarily infected (9). In some individuals, large cysts may cause respiratory distress, wheezing, cough, dyspnea, and dysphagia (8).…”

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment of children with bronchogenic cysts (BCs) in the head and neck region.MethodsA retrospective study of 10 pediatric patients with BCs in the head and neck region treated in Shanghai Children's Hospital during 2011 to 2022 was performed.ResultsBased on their pathological diagnosis, 10 patients with BCs in the head and neck were identified. The most common location was the neck (8 patients, 80%; 2 midline neck, 6 lateral neck), followed by the ventral tip of tongue (1 patient), and the posterior pharyngeal wall (1 patient). Misdiagnosed as lymphangioma in 5 cases, cyst in 3 cases, thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) in 2 cases and congenital pyriform sinus fistula (CPSF) in 1 case preoperative. The median follow-up period after surgery was 4.68 (range, 0.67–9.25) years. All 10 patients underwent complete resection without recurrence or other complications.ConclusionsAlthough extremely rare, BCs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of midline and lateral neck masses or intraoral cysts in children. Surgical excision is recommended in BCs, and the diagnosis is definitively confirmed by histopathology.

“…Although BCs are asymptomatic and in many cases are discovered incidentally during medical checkups or workups for other diseases, complications associated with BCs—that is, infection, cyst rupture, bleeding, malignant transformation—have been reported [ 3 , 17 , 20 , 21 ]. Surgical resection remains the most suitable treatment for BCs.…”

Background Bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are generally detected in the mediastinum, along the tracheobronchial tree, or in the lung parenchyma. Subcutaneous BCs are rare, but, when found, are usually small (< 3 cm) and detected in children. Case presentation In an unusual adult case, we treated a 52-year-old woman who presented with a mass in the left intergluteal cleft region. Ultrasonography showed a well-circumscribed hypoechoic lesion with posterior enhancement and internal echogenic foci within the mass. Color Doppler images showed no signals. Computed tomography showed the mass as a homogeneous, 6.8- × 6.3- × 5.1-cm soft tissue-attenuation lesion lodged in subcutaneous fatty tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic lesion of similar dimensions with heterogeneous hyperintensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images. No contrast enhancement, solid components, or restricted diffusion foci were apparent. The cyst was completely excised, and histopathological evaluation indicated it was a BC. The patient’s recovery was uneventful. Conclusions BCs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all subcutaneous cystic masses, regardless of their location and size and the patient’s age.
