Atypical lung parenchymal bronchogenic cyst complicated by tuberculosis infection.
(65/82)
A bronchogenic cyst (BC) is a rare congenital lesion that may cause life-threatening organ compression in children, but is generally asymptomatic in adults unless there are other complications. In the present report, a 34-year-old woman in whom a BC was complicated by tuberculosis infection is described. Due to the small size of the BC, it was asymptomatic and could not be diagnosed until she was treated with antituberculosis medications. (+info)
Unknown: a congenital nodule on the scapula.
(66/82)
We present a new case of a cutaneous bronchogenic cyst on the scapular area in a 2-year-old boy. The asymptomatic nodule over his right scapula had been detected at birth and had been gradually growing. Cutaneous bronchogenic cysts located near the scapula are extremely rare. The proposed mechanism is that the accessory buds from the tracheobronchial tree/primitive foregut migrated from the thorax in an aberrant manner to lie in a periscapular position. Cutaneous bronchogenic cysts are poorly recognized by clinicians because they lack pathognomonic clinical symptoms. The diagnosis is based on the histopathological findings in the majority of cases. Complete excision and histological examination are indicated to confirm the diagnosis, to relieve symptoms, and to prevent complications, such as infection or malignancy. (+info)

Bronchogenic cyst in the intradiaphragmatic location.
(72/82)
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital foregut malformations thought to develop due to abnormal budding of tracheal diverticulumand proximal bronchial structures during embryologic development. The cyst is lined by ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium and the wall contains cartilage and layers of smooth muscle. These lesions most commonly are seen in the mediastinum, lung, or pleural spaces. The intradiaphragmatic location of the bronchogenic cyst rarely has been reported in the literature. We report the clinical presentation and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings in a pediatric patient who presented with left-sided chest pain and was found to have a mass in the region of the diaphragm.
