Pediatric Bronchogenic Cysts: A Case Series of Six Patients Highlighting Diagnosis and Management

Subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst of the chest wall: A case report with brief literature review

“…A cystic neck mass might be an abscess, a thyroglossal duct cyst, or a bronchogenic cyst [25] . A cystic chest wall mass can be diagnosed as a dermoid cyst or teratoma, and a mediastinal cyst can be TB, foregut cyst, pericardial cyst, congenital cystic adenoid malformation, pulmonary sequestration, large B cell lymphoma, or enterogenic cyst [6] .…”

“…On rare occasions, they have been observed in atypical sites such as the scapula, paravertebral, cervical, retroperitoneal, pericardial, omental, and perianal regions [5] . A chest wall bronchogenic cyst is an extremely rare condition, with just a few occurrences previously recorded in the literature [4] , [5] , [6] .…”

Embryogenesis of Ectopic Bronchogenic Cysts: Keep It Simple

“…The authors present six cases of bronchogenic cysts at diverse locations (midline neck and chest wall, thyroid, subcarinal, posterior mediastinum) [2]. As well discussed in the article, these malformations present across specialties and require different surgical approaches.…”

“…turies, report of cases was the only kind of literature in medicine [1]. Nowadays, they are still very useful, because they open discussions that help understanding rarities, as is the case of the article by Cohn et al [2] on bronchogenic cysts.…”

“…Cohn et al [2] provide the classical theory that bronchogenic cysts are generated as a result of abnormal bronchial budding of the small lung bud given from the ventral wall of the pharynx. Others have proposed an origin from an accessory lung bud [3] or from an accessory bronchus [4].…”
