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.

Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital cysts caused by anomalism of foregut in the embryonic stage.They locate most frequently in the mediastinum and are rarely seen in stomach.Here we report a case of gastric bronchogenic cysts that was diagnosed and treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 2 to 9,2018.

Bronchogenic cysts can arise either in the mediastinum or in the lung parenchyma. On both CT and T1 -weighted MR images, the cyst contents can show a variable signal characteristics. However, on T2-weighted MR images, the cyst show high signal intensity. Although unusual, the cyst may communicate with the tracheobronchial tree and demonstrate partial or complete air content. With hemorrhage, fluid-fluid levels can also be seen within the cyst. Pathologically, the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst rests on demonstration of tissues normally found in the tracheobronchial tree within the cyst wall.

A bronchogenic cyst is an uncommon benign congenital anomaly of the primitive ventral foregut. Although bronchogenic cysts in the midline of anterior neck have been reported, they are known to occur very rarely. Moreover, it has never been reported to be located submentally in adults. Clinically, it is usually asymptomatic and thus incidentally diagnosed. Radiologically, it can not be differentiated from other cystic lesions. Therefore, it is pathologically confirmed only when there are bronchial tissues such as pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, smooth muscle, mucous gland or cartilage. Since this cyst has potential for complication, a complete excision is mandatory. We recently experienced a case of bronchogenic cyst presenting as a submental mass in a 26 year-old man. In this article, we reviewed the etiology, the diagnosis, and the treatment of this case with a review of the literatures.

Bronchogenic cysts are generally found in the mediastinum, particularly posterior to the carina, but they rarely occur in such unusual sites as the skin, subcutaneous tissue, pericardium, and even the retroperitoneum. A 30-year-old Korean man underwent surgery to remove a cystic adrenal mass incidentally discovered during routine physical checkup. At surgery, it proved to be a multilocular cyst located in the retroperitoneum adjacent to the left adrenal gland. Microscopically, the cyst was lined by respiratory epithelium over connective tissue with submucous glands, cartilage and smooth muscle, thereby histologically confirming bronchogenic cyst. This is the first reported case of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst in an adult without other congenital anomalies in Korea.

A bronchogenic cyst is a developmental abnormality of the primitive ventral foregut. It is usually located in the chest but infradiaphragmatic. However, retroperitoneal locations are rare. Clinically it is usually asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed, radiologically it is differentially diagnosed from adrenal mass, pancreatic cyst, enteric cyst, urothelial cyst but pathologically it is confirmed when there is bronchial tissue, such as respiratory epithelium, small muscle, serous and mucous gland, cartilage. A 61-year old woman was admitted suffering from epigastric pain. Computed tomography showed a 7cm sized cystic mass in the left adrenal area. The mass was excised and was found to be a bronchogenic cyst. Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts, although rare, should be considered in the diagnosis of a retroperitoneal mass.

Bronchogenic cysts are usually located in the pulmonary parenchyma or mediastinum. When they are located in the mediastinum, they are usually near the bronchus or esophagus, but they are rarely at an intramural location of the esophagus. It is very difficult to differentiate between bronchogenic cyst and esophageal cyst before the operation. We report here on a patient for whom the preoperative diagnosis was supposed to be an esophageal cyst. The esophageal cyst was excised through the longitudinal division of the esophageal muscular layer without injury of the mucosa after right thoracotomy. The pathologic report revealed intramural bronchogenic cyst. We report here on a case of bronchogenic cyst that was located in the muscle layer of the lower esophagus.
