“…In previous reports, it has been observed that a significant proportion of patients were asymptomatic[ 7 ]. However, among those who exhibited symptoms, epigastric pain and vomiting were the most prevalent[ 8 ]. Most gastric BCs are easily misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) before surgery[ 9 ]; however, fortunately, their prognosis is good[ 10 ].…”

BACKGROUND Gastric bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are extremely rare cystic masses caused by abnormal development of the respiratory system during the embryonic period. Gastric bronchial cysts are rare lesions that were first reported in 1956; as of 2023, only 33 cases are available in the PubMed online database. BCs usually have no clinical symptoms in the early stage, and imaging findings also lack specificity. Therefore, they are difficult to diagnose before histopathological examination. CASE SUMMARY A 34-year-old woman with respiratory distress presented at our hospital. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed an anechoic mass between the spleen, left kidney and gastric fundus, with hyperechogenic and soft elastography textures and with a size of approximately 6.5 cm × 4.0 cm. Furthermore, a computed tomography scan demonstrated high density between the posterior stomach and the spleen and the left kidney, with uniform internal density and a small amount of calcification. The maximum cross section was approximately 10.1 cm × 6.1 cm, and the possibility of a cyst was high. Because the imaging findings did not suggest a malignancy and because the patient required complete resection, she underwent laparotomy surgery. Intraoperatively, this cystic lesion was found to be located in the posterior wall of the large curvature of the fundus and was approximately 8 cm × 6 cm in size. Finally, the pathologists verified that the cyst in the fundus was a gastric BC. The patient recovered well, her symptoms of chest tightness disappeared, and the abdominal drain was removed on postoperative day 6, after which she was discharged on day 7 for 6 months of follow-up. She had no tumor recurrence or postoperative complications during the follow-up. CONCLUSION This is a valuable report as it describes an extremely rare case of gastric BC. Moreover, this was a very young patient with a large BC in the stomach.

“…Congenital lung lesions comprise a diverse spectrum of rare but clinically significant lesions ranging from congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations to bronchopulmonary sequestrations, congenital lobar emphysema, and bronchogenic cysts [ 1 ]. Bronchogenic cysts are closed sac-like cystic lesions resulting from abnormal budding of the primitive foregut during the early development of the alimentary and respiratory systems [ 2 , 3 ]. Furthermore, they are exceedingly rare, with a prevalence rate of 1 in 42000 and 1 in 68000 [ 4 ].…”

Bronchogenic cysts are closed sac-like cystic lesions resulting from abnormal budding of the primitive foregut during the early development of the alimentary and respiratory systems. We describe the case of a 54-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with complaints of fever, chills, shortness of breath, and a productive cough with intermittent hemoptysis for the past two to three months. Initial workup revealed a right lung hydropneumothorax with complete atelectasis of the right lung and a mass effect on the left lung. During intercostal drainage, pleural fluid analysis revealed empyema with E. coli treated with antibiotics. However, the symptoms persisted after five days of antibiotic treatment and drainage. A multidisciplinary team of thoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and pulmonologists was assembled due to the non-resolving nature of the lung abscess. The patient underwent a right middle lobe lobectomy with decortication via open thoracotomy, and a bronchogenic cyst, an uncommon cause of the lung abscess, was suggested by histopathological analysis.
