Most pediatric masses in the chest are located in the mediastinum. These masses are often initially detected incidentally on chest radiographs in asymptomatic children, although some patients may present with respiratory symptoms. At chest radiography, the mediastinum has been anatomically divided into anterior, middle, and posterior compartments. However, with the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group classification scheme, which is based on cross-sectional imaging findings, the mediastinum is divided into prevascular, visceral, and paravertebral compartments. In the prevascular compartment, tumors of thymic origin, lymphomas, germ cell tumors, and vascular tumors are encountered. In the visceral compartment, lymphadenopathy and masses related to the foregut are seen. In the paravertebral compartment, neurogenic tumors are most common. Using the anatomic location in combination with knowledge of the imaging and pathologic features of pediatric mediastinal masses aids in accurate diagnosis of these masses to guide treatment and management decisions.

“…Bronchogenic cysts are considered to be caused by an aberrant germination or the abandonment of a tracheobronchial rudiment originating from the ventral lung bud of the foregut, during the embryonic period [7]. Most bronchogenic cysts occur in the lungs and mediastinum and rarely arise from the diaphragm [1,2]. The site of occurrence of bronchogenic cysts depends on their timing of development during embryogenesis.…”

“…In adults, the treatment for suspected bronchogenic cysts is surgical removal. Early surgical excision is preferred because, making a definitive preoperative diagnosis is difficult in some cases, the risk of surgery is higher after the appearance of symptoms, and parts of the cyst have been reported to be malignant in previous studies [[2], [3], [4], [5]]. Some studies have suggested a conservative follow-up of asymptomatic patients with suspected bronchogenic cysts.…”

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

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.

“…Intramural bronchogenic cysts in the gastroesophageal junction are extremely rare (only 6 cases have been reported in the English literature) (27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), and because of the rarity of intramural bronchogenic cysts in the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction, their unique clinicopathological features have not been well recognized. The treatment strategy for bronchogenic cyst is complete excision to avoid recurrence and rare malignant transformation (33,34). Therefore, accurate pre-operative diagnosis is very important for treatment.…”

Intramural bronchogenic cysts of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction: A case report

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bronchogenic cyst is a relatively rare congenital malformation that is often identified in the mediastinum. The occurrence of bronchogenic cysts in the intramural esophagus and gastroesophageal junction is rare. The present report describes three cases of intramural bronchogenic cysts of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction and reviews the clinicopathological features of these lesions. A 35-year-old Japanese male (Case 1), a 50-year-old Japanese woman (Case 2) and a 34-year-old Japanese man (Case 3) presented with dysphagia, pharyngeal pain and heartburn, respectively. Upper endoscopic examination revealed submucosal tumors in the esophagus (Case 1 and 2) and gastroesophageal junction (Case 3). Subsequent endoscopic examination revealed perforation of the cyst into the surface of the esophageal mucosa (Case 2). Surgical resection was performed in all cases. Histopathological examinations revealed that the submucosal cysts were covered by respiratory-type ciliated epithelium without atypia. Cartilage and bronchial glands were not observed in any of the cases. The present review of the clinicopathological characteristics of bronchogenic cysts of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction revealed that males and females were equally affected. The median age of the patients was 34.5 years with a wide age distribution. The most common main complaint was dysphagia. A pre-operative diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst is difficult because no specific imaging features are present. As surgical resection is recommended for this lesion, recognition of the clinicopathological features of bronchogenic cysts is important for an accurate pre-operative diagnosis.
