Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of adult mediastinal bronchial cysts complicated with aspergillus infection, aiming to improve clinicians′ understanding of this rare lesion.Methods:A case of adult mediastinal bronchial cyst with aspergillus infection admitted to the Foshan Second People′s Hospital in February 2024, mainly presenting with fever and chest pain, was reported. Chest CT showed a mediastinal mass, and postoperative pathology confirmed bronchial cyst with aspergillus infection. Combined with relevant literature review, the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment points of the disease were summarized.Results:The patient successfully underwent surgical resection of the lesion, and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of bronchial cyst complicated with aspergillus infection. Literature review indicated that mediastinal bronchial cysts are relatively rare in adults, and cases complicated with aspergillus infection are even rarer.Conclusions:Adult mediastinal bronchial cyst complicated with aspergillus infection is a rare lesion with non-specific clinical manifestations. Imaging examination is an important diagnostic method, and the final diagnosis depends on pathological examination. Enhancing clinicians′ awareness of this disease is helpful for timely and accurate diagnosis and reasonable treatment.
