Intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst

Abstract

The bronchogenic cyst is a common congenital malformation, generally located in the mediastinum; however, it can develop in other areas, such as the diaphragm. A rare case of intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst is described here, discovered in a 32 year-old patient, who experienced thoracic pain and dyspnea following thoracic trauma. The pre-operative exams were compatible with left diaphragmatic hernia. The patient was submitted to a left post-lateral thoracotomy with the operative discovery of a cystic lesion enveloped by the diaphragm with mucinous content, and a partial resection of the diaphragm was performed. The histological findings of the operated portion revealed ciliated cylindrical epithelium, compatible with bronchogenic cysts. The post-operative outcome was excellent

Report of an incidental finding of a congenital intradiaphragmatic cyst in an adult and a critical review of the literature

“…These lesions, which are also extremely rare, typically involve the posteromedial hemidiaphragm adjacent to the spine. They almost invariably contain soft tissue elements or proteinaceous fluid that is echogenic on ultrasound and are, therefore, usually easily differentiated from mesothelial cysts [11] , [12] , [13] .…”

Quiste broncogénico. Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura

“…Reichelt et al, 72 en 2000, habían identificado únicamente 16 citas. Westphal et al 73 describieron un caso intradiafragmático. Jo et al 74 encontraron un QB localizado en pleura posterior diafragmática izquierda que se extendía al retroperitoneo atravesando el diafragma, mientras Abdul et al 75 publicaron un caso de QB pedunculado en pleura.…”
