Bronchogenic cysts are rare developmental anomalies, seen primarily in the pediatric population. Cutaneous manifestations of bronchogenic cysts are still rarer. This lesion poses diagnostic challenge for the clinicians and in almost all, histopathological examination gives the precise diagnosis. We report a case of presternal cystic lesion in 11 year old boy, clinically diagnosed as dermoid cyst, however the lesion was suggestive of cutaneous bronchogenic cyst on histopathology.

“…Mucoepidermoid carcinomas arising from bronchogenic cysts have been reported in the thymus of a 59-year-old Japanese woman [20] and in the thyroid of a 44-year-old woman [21]. In addition, a recurrent malignant melanoma arising from a cutaneous bronchogenic cyst in the left scapular area has been reported in a 46-year-old Japanese man [22], and a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma arising from a bronchogenic cyst in the cervical region was recently described [23]. Although cervical bronchogenic cysts are rare and benign, they should be distinguished from other cystic cervical masses, especially metastatic cervical lymph nodes associated with thyroid cancer.…”

Cervical bronchogenic cysts mimic metastatic lymph nodes during thyroid cancer surgery

et al. 2014

PurposeAlthough congenital bronchogenic cysts in the cervical region, especially in the thyroid or perithyroidal area, are rare, distinguishing them from other cervical cystic lesions (e.g., thyroglossal duct and branchial cleft cysts) and metastatic cervical lymph nodes is difficult preoperatively. Additionally, cystic degeneration of metastatic lymph nodes is common in patients with thyroid cancer. We investigated the clinical characteristics and proper treatment for individuals with cervical bronchogenic cysts.MethodsOf the 18,900 patients treated for thyroid cancer, 18 patients with pathologically confirmed bronchogenic cysts were retrospectively reviewed. Bilateral total thyroidectomy or less than total thyroidectomy with central compartment node dissection, including cystic mass excision was done and cystic mass was confirmed by postoperative pathologic examination.ResultsAll cervical bronchogenic cysts were asymptomatic. Their mean size was 1.2 cm (range, 0.3 to 3 cm). Of these 18 patients, 15 did not have any abnormal radiological findings, except for lymphadenopathy during preoperative evaluations. Most bronchogenic cysts were detected around the thyroid and paratracheal areas. On preoperative imaging and intraoperatively, most were indistinguishable from metastatic cervical lymph nodes or other cystic lesions.ConclusionAlthough cervical bronchogenic cysts are rare and benign, they should be distinguished from other cystic cervical masses, especially metastatic cervical lymph nodes associated with thyroid cancer. Possible cervical bronchogenic cysts found during thyroid cancer evaluation or surgery should be surgically excised.

“…This disease is very rarely found in adults: only 23 cases have so far been reported in the literature. [1][2][3][4][5] Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and CT, particularly multislice, scans are essential for diagnosis. Differential diagnosis should be made between cervical bronchogenic cyst and branchial cleft, thyroglossal, thymic, thyroid and enteric duplication cysts, lymphangiomas, dermoid cysts, teratomas and neuromas with the same topography.…”

“…1 Once diagnosis has been confirmed and any possible inflammation or sepsis have been treated, the treatment of choice is surgery. Choice of the surgical approach is wholly dependent on the topography and size of the cyst, and it is essential to remove the entire cyst in order to confirm the diagnosis, rule out neoplastic proliferation, 4 …”
