Presentation and Surgical Management of Bronchogenic and Esophageal Duplication Cysts in Adults

Intramural Esophageal Bronchogenic Cyst: Mimicking Malignity and Support of PET-CT in The Diagnosis

“…Fetal esophagus and trachea are initially laid with ciliated epithelium, and the ciliated epithelium is replaced with squamous epithelium the gestational 17th week. BC are a development caused by the tracheobronchial budding in an abnormal localization in fetal, infant and until adulthood periods (1,3,4). These are often around the trachea-bronchial tree and mediastinal localized unilocular lesions.…”

“…They are intrathoracically localized close to main bronchi, trachea, esophagus and pericardium. Furthermore, subdiaphragmatic, intrapericardial, intracardiac, cervical and subcutaneous localized bronchogenic cysts have been reported (1,4,6). One of the very rarely seen localization is intramural esophagus (2,7,10).…”

“…Tracheobronchial tree develops from the ventral part of the foregut, and these cysts occur as a result of the abnormal budding of tracheobronchial tree (1). BC are generally mediastinal and intraparenchymal localized, but they may be seen anywhere with development of abnormal budding of tracheobronchial tree during the fetal development.…”

“…BC are generally mediastinal and intraparenchymal localized, but they may be seen anywhere with development of abnormal budding of tracheobronchial tree during the fetal development. One of the extremely rare localization of BC is between the mucosa and muscle layer of the esophagus which is called the intramural esophageal bronchogenic cyst (IEBC) (1,2). IEBC don't present symptoms, unless they reach to a large size.…”

Obesidad mórbida asociada a quiste broncogénico y leiomioma subcardial que simula GIST: Caso clínico

“…Este mecanismo explica porque la mayoría de los casos publicados, corresponden a pacientes pediá-tricos, y lo excepcional de su presentación en adultos 5,[23][24][25][26] .…”
