Subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst of the chest wall

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

“…Bronchogenic cysts present clinically and radiologically in a variety of ways, ranging from incidental radiologic findings without symptoms to giant mass-like structures accompanied by severe symptoms [16] , [17] . The variability of presentation depends on their size, location, and compression or invasion of adjacent tissues [5] . According to one study, 71% of children with mediastinal cysts were symptomatic [18] .…”

“…A cough, difficulty breathing or swallowing, hemoptysis, and infection are symptoms of enlarged cysts. Symptoms of cutaneous bronchogenic cysts include pain, a growing mass, a draining sinus, and, in rare cases, cellulitis and abscess [5] . Lee et al reported that more than half of their cases were symptomatic, with cough being the most common symptom [17] .…”

“…They can form in ectopic positions anywhere along the foregut developmental pathway [4] . 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] .…”

Giant Intrapericardial bronchogenic cyst associated with congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation: a case report

“…It is a rare congenital defect, with an incidence of 1/50000 people [ 4 ], representing 14–22% of all congenital pulmonary defects [ 2 ] and 10–15% of all primary mediastinal masses [ 1 ]. The average diameter ranges from 2 to 4 cm 2 and is classified based on location as parenchymal or mediastinal, the latter being 86% of the cases.…”

Giant Intrapericardial Bronchogenic Cyst Associated with Congestive Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation: A Case Report

“…A bronchogenic cyst is a remnant of the primitive gut tube occurring as a consequence of abnormal embryonic development in the tracheobronchial tree, between the 5th and 16th gestational week [1][2][3] . It is a rare congenital defect, with an incidence of 1/50000 people 4 , representing 14-22% of all pulmonary congenital defects 2 and 10-15% of all primary mediastinal masses 1 . The average diameter ranges from 2-4cm 2 and is classi ed based on the localization as parenchymal or mediastinal, the latter being the most common in 86% of cases.…”
