“…Our patient is the first reported case of a giant cyst (>6 cm) over the manubrium in an adult. [2][3][4] A definitive diagnosis of BC requires histopathological confirmation. BCs are lined by a mucosa consisting of ciliated, pseudo-stratified columnar cells interspersed with goblet cells.…”

Bronchogenic cysts are generally detected in the mediastinum, along the tracheobronchial tree, or in the lung parenchyma. Subcutaneous presternal bronchogenic cysts have been rarely described, and they are usually of small size (<3 cm) and reported in children. We report a case of giant presternal subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst in a 20-year-old man. Presternal subcutaneous bronchogenic cysts, despite their rarity, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all subcutaneous cystic masses, independent of their size and the patient’s age.

“…[ 1 ] Only a few cases of subcutaneous bronchogenic cysts that were diagnosed in persons above the age of 18 have been reported in the English language literature. [ 7 , 8 ] These cysts are more common in boys, [ 9 ] and they are asymptomatic, [ 10 , 11 ] but may be related to symptoms such as draining sinuses and/or cyst enlargement, tenderness, pruritus, and dysphagia. [ 9 ] Bronchogenic cysts usually contain a mixture of water and proteinaceous mucus and range from clear or yellowish watery liquid to viscous or mucous material.…”

Subcutaneous bronchogenic cysts have been described rarely, particularly among adolescents. Only a few reports have described the ultrasonographic features of bronchogenic cysts, characterizing them as nonspecific cystic masses with or without internal echogenic foci or debris. Therefore, it is hard to differentiate subcutaneous bronchogenic cysts from other subcutaneous cystic tumors ultrasonographically.We report a case of presternal subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst in an 18-year-old man with unusual ultrasonographic findings. Ultrasonography revealed a small, oval, cystic mass containing a well-circumscribed, heterogeneously hypoechoic, egg-shaped lesion in the dependent portion of the mass within the subcutaneous fat layer overlying the sternum.Surgical excision was performed, and the cystic mass was diagnosed as a bronchogenic cyst. On pathological examination, the internal, heterogeneously hypoechoic, ball-like lesion was found to be mucous material within the cyst. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a presternal subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst presenting with a ball-like lesion inside of the cyst. This unusual ultrasonographic feature can be a clue to the diagnosis of subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst.In conclusion, if an anechoic cyst containing an internal, well-circumscribed, hypoechoic ball-like lesion is seen in the presternal subcutaneous fat layer, subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous cystic masses.
