“…Rarely, the cysts have occurred in other locations, including cutaneous [7] and subcutaneous tissues [8], neck [9], pericardium [10], diaphragm [11], abdomen [12], and the intramedullar part of the spine [13]. They have also been reported to extend from the mediastinum through the diaphragm into the abdomen as dumbbell cysts [14]. The relative occurrence rates of intrapulmonary and mediastinal bronchogenic cysts are controversial.…”

Buduneli. ©ERS Journals Ltd 1996. ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the preoperative and operative presentations of one paediatric and 30 adult patients with bronchogenic cyst of the mediastinum (n=11) and lung (n=20).At initial presentation, six patients were asymptomatic and 25 were symptomatic. The mean age of asymptomatic and symptomatic patients was 25 and 33 yrs, respectively. Six patients presented with complications, including superior vena cava syndrome, tracheal compression, pneumothorax, pleurisy and pneumonia. Two patients who were asymptomatic when initially observed eventually needed surgery because of the development of symptoms or enlargement of the cyst size. In one patient, the cyst was not seen on the chest radiograph but appeared as a lobulated nodule of 2 cm diameter in a chest computerized tomography (CT) scan. Operative difficulties were encountered in 13 patients, all of whom were symptomatic preoperatively.In conclusion, life-threatening complications occurred in these patients. Despite various diagnostic studies, definitive tissue diagnosis was established only by means of surgical excision. The frequency of operative difficulties in symptomatic cysts was higher than those of asymptomatic cysts. Surgery may be considered as the treatment of choice even when the cyst is asymptomatic, since complications are not uncommon.

“…Rarely, it may cause nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea-vomiting, and epigastric mass. The exact radiological diagnosis of these cysts is not easy [2][3][4][5]. The findings on a CT may resemble gastrointestinal stromal tumors, pancreas cysts, or neurogenic tumors.…”

“…They are usually localized in the mediastinum. Rarely, bronchogenic cysts are reported in extra-thoracic regions such as the sub-diaphragmatic area or cervical region [1][2][3]. When these cysts are localized in an intra-abdominal region, their radiological and clinical diagnosis is difficult because they may resemble gastrointestinal stromal tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, leiomyoma, and pancreatic pseudocysts [4][5][6].…”

Özetİntra-abdominal yerleşimli bronkojenik kistler son derece nadirdir. Çoğunlukla intratorasik yerleşimli olmalarına rağmen, diyafragma altında da nadiren yerleşim gösterirler. Bu çalışmada diyafragma altında saptanan ve cerrahi eksizyon yapılan 2 olgu literatür bilgileri ışığında sunuldu. Anahtar KelimelerBronkojenik Kist; Cerrahi Tedavi; Ekstratorasik; Konjenital AbstractAn intra-abdominal tumor originating from a bronchogenic cyst is an extremely rare entity. Although commonly located in the thoracic cavity, these cysts are occasionally present underneath and even within the diaphragm. We report two cases of bronchogenic cysts localized in the extra-thoracic region and treated with surgical therapy, in light of the current literature.

“…CT is helpful in delineating the extent of the lesion [10]. Any tubular duplications with extension into the abdomen may benefit from accurate delineation of the extension so appropriate surgical approach is performed.…”

Role of CT in the evaluation of children with foregut cyst

The presentation of a foregut cyst may vary from an asymptomatic mass discovered as an incidental finding in a chest radiograph, to signs or symptoms secondary to airway compression by the cyst. The radiographic evaluation of a child with a possible foregut cyst usually consists of a chest radiograph and barium esophagogram. Although this approach is often sufficient, in other instances delay of treatment occurs or unnecessary workups are performed due to the inadequacy of the approach. CT is useful for depicting cryptic foregut cysts, clarifying abnormal radiographs, avoiding unnecessary workup of patients by establishing the precise location of the mass, and defining the cystic nature of the mass and excluding other etiologies.
