Paraesophageal bronchogenic cyst in the adult: Can it be differentiated from intramural esophageal cyst by different imagings? case report and review of the literature

Unusual mode of presentation of intrathoracic bronchogenic cyst: A double location

“…Paraoesophageal are uncommon location of bronchogenic cyst that is difficult to differentiate from oesophageal duplications. Although the intraparenchymal and paraoesophageal described in this case, were lined by respiratory epithelium and cartilage suggesting that the source of the developmental error was within the tracheobronchial tree, rather than the embryonic foregut [18] , [19] .…”

Quiste broncogénico esofágico: una causa poco común de disfagia en adultos. Reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura

“…Ultrasonido endoscópico que reportó lesión tipo quística entre los 26 y 31 cm de la arcada dentaria, de 39 × 30 mm de diámetro, de contenido anecoico, que se origina de la pared del esófago y crece hacia dentro cubierta por mucosa esofágica normal y hacia fuera rechazando la tráquea y la aorta. tomografía computarizada es útil para evaluar la naturaleza quística de la masa, mostrando una densidad homogénea casi de agua; puede indicar la ubicación exacta de la masa y sus relaciones con otras estructuras torácicas 9 . Sin embargo, si el quiste está infectado o tiene un alto contenido de proteínas y calcio, su densidad puede caer dentro del rango de tejidos sólidos, lo que aumenta la incertidumbre diagnóstica 10 .…”

Esophageal bronchogenic cyst: an uncommon cause of dysphagia in adults. Case report and literature review

“…Contrast esophagography can show if there is communication between the cyst and the esophagus, or reveal only extrinsic smooth compression and displacement of the esophagus. Computed tomography is useful to evaluate the cystic nature of the mass, showing an almost watery homogeneous density; it can indicate the exact location of the mass and its relationship with other thoracic structures 9 . However, if the cyst is infected or has protein and calcium high content, its density may fall within the range of solid tissue, which increases diagnostic uncertainty 10 .…”
