Bronchogenic Cyst*

Cutaneous bronchogenic cysts are rare, and stem from developmental abnormalities of the tracheobronchial tree. The condition is often misdiagnosed clinically, with the correct diagnosis usually established by histopathologic examination. Published reports of bronchogenic or branchial anomalies are increasing, and the traditional defining characteristics of location and histopathology are proving to be less reliable for the identification of cutaneous bronchogenic cysts. In this report, we describe a case of a cutaneous bronchogenic cyst that presented with unusual histologic features, and was associated with several lymphoid follicles.

Bronchogenic Cyst*

Bronchogenic cyst is usually located in the mediastinum and lung parenchyma, but retroperitoneal ones are extremely rare. Most of bronchogenic cysts are benign and asymptomatic. The author reported a case of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst in an 11 year old girl who complained of epigastric pain. Ultrasonography, CT scan and MRI studies revealed a retroperitoneal cystic mass, about 4cm in diameter, containing turbid fluid, along the right crus of the diaphragm, adjacent to abdominal aorta. Pathological analysis confirmed the bronchogenic cyst with components of smooth muscle, respiratory epithelium, cartilage and submucous glands of the cyst wall, hemorrhage and leukocyte infiltration. Postoperative outcomes were good, the patient discharged at the 12th day

We report very rare case of concurrent bronchial atresia and bronchogenic cyst. Morphologic apical segment of right upper lobe directly stemmed from right main bronchus. Bronchogenic cyst was communicating with atretic segmental bronchus and both were filled with mucus. The etiology is not well known, however it is likely that a single insult arround the 5th~6th week causes both malformations.

A case of congenital mutilocular intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst which was undifferentiated radiographicallyfrom congenital lobar emphysema, large pneumatocele, or tension pneumothoarax is reported. The cyst occupied about4/5 of left lung fields and displaced the mediastinal structures to right moderately and compressed the remainingleft lungs severely.

This study examined the clinical profile of primary bronchogenic carcinoma in the elderly. Patients underwent surgical resection at National Institute of Tuberculosis and respiratory diseases from 1/1998 to 6/1999. A total of 246 patients divided 2 groups: 105 patients with 40-59 years of age (group I) and 140 patients with 60 years of age or older (group II). The results indicated that clinical profile of lung cancer. Average duration of illness was 3.88 months in group II (group I: 3,29 months). Weight loss (66.6%) and fever (12.1%) were the most common general symptoms. Other chest symptoms include cough (80.7%), chest pain (72.1%), hemoptysis (20%), dyspnoea (14.3%). Mistaken diagnosis was caused by tuberculosis (10.7%), chronic bronchitis (11.7%).

Background: Bronchogenic cyst is a disease caused by abnormal development of the bronchial tree during the fetal. Incidence of Bronchogenic cyst accounts for 6.5% of mediastinal tumor in children and 14.5% of mediastinal benign tumor. Objectives: To study clinical features, X-rays imaging of bronchogenic cyst and surgical indications in treatment. Subjects and method: A retrospective study was conducted on 53 patients with bronchogenic cyst (29 males, 24 females, aged between 18 and 69 years old), operated at Surgical department of Central Hospital of Tuberculosis and Lung from January, 2002 to December, 2005. Results:Clinical symptoms of bronchogenic cyst were nonspecific. However, some common symptoms were chest pain (64%), dry cough (51%) and hemoptysis (34%). The disease was common seen in bronchial parenchyma (98%), in right lung is 2 times higher than in left lung. Diameter of cyst was mainly from 5-10cm, round shape. The cyst edge is thin, clear and smooth. Treatment indication for bronchogenic cyst was surgery. Conclusion: When bronchogenic cyst was confirmed diagnosed, surgical indication was completely reasonable, it allowed eliminating complications of bronchogenic cyst.
