Retroperitoneal multilocular bronchogenic cyst adjacent to adrenal gland. (1/82)
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. (+info)Prenatal diagnosis of a bronchogenic cyst in an unusual site. (2/82)
We report a rare case of a subdiaphragmatic cyst, diagnosed prenatally during routine ultrasound screening at 25 weeks' gestation. Serial ultrasonographic evaluation demonstrated a slight increase in the size of the cyst during pregnancy. On the basis of the anatomic site and the sonographic features of the lesion, four diagnostic hypotheses were postulated: cystic neuroblastoma, adrenal hemorrhage, duplication of the inferior third of the esophagus and retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma. A healthy baby, weighing 3300 g and with Apgar scores of 8 and 9, was delivered vaginally at term. He underwent successful surgery at the age of 3 months. The post-operative course was uneventful and the baby is currently doing well. Histology revealed a bronchogenic cyst.

Ectopic subdiaphragmatic development of a bronchogenic cyst is rare. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with a symptomatic bronchogenic cyst of the right hemidiaphragm simulating a hydatic cyst of the liver on ultrasonography and CT scan. Diagnosis of a diaphragmatic lesion was made during laparotomy, and complete resection was successful. Final diagnosis was done on pathology.

This report documents a bronchogenic cyst presenting as an adrenal tumour in a 51 year old man with persistent epigastric pain. The cyst is regarded as a developmental abnormality of the primitive foregut, which typically occurs in the chest. Subdiaphragmatic, and retroperitoneal locations in particular, are unusual. The differential diagnosis of a bronchogenic cyst in the retroperitoneum includes cystic teratoma, bronchopulmonary sequestration, cysts of urothelial and mullerian origin, and other foregut cysts. (+info)Radiologic-pathologic correlation of unusual lingual masses: Part I: congenital lesions. (5/82)
Because the tongue is superficially located and the initial manifestation of most diseases occurring there is mucosal change, lingual these lesions can be easily accessed and diagnosed without imaging analysis. Most congenital lesions of the tongue, however, can manifest as a submucosal bulge and be located in a deep portion of that organ such as its base; their true characteristics and extent may be recognized only on cross-sectional images such as those obtained by CT or MRI. In addition, because it is usually difficult to differentiate congenital lesions from other submucosal neoplasms on the basis of imaging findings alone, clinical history and physical examination should always be taken into consideration when interpreting CT and MR images of the tongue. Although the radiologic findings for congenital lesions are nonspecific, CT and MR imaging can play an important role in the diagnostic work-up of these unusual lesions. Delineation of the extent of the tumor, and recognition and understanding of the spectrum of imaging and the pathologic features of these lesions, often help narrow the differential diagnosis.

We report an exceedingly rare case of primary bronchogenic cyst in the outflow tract of the right ventricle in a 48-year-old woman. In our review of the world literature, we found only 1 other report of an intracardiac bronchogenic cyst. Our patient's only symptom was mild dyspnea not associated with physical exertion, and the cyst was resected successfully. We report clinical aspects of the case, diagnostic methods, surgical management, and histopathologic findings. (+info)Pathological analysis of congenital cervical cysts in children: 20 years of experience at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. (7/82)
BACKGROUND: Congenital cervical cysts are frequently encountered in pediatric populations, and constitute one of the most intriguing areas of pediatric pathology. This report analyzes cervical cysts in Taiwanese children diagnosed at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH) over the past 20 years. The pathologic and clinical findings are reviewed. METHODS: Files on 331 patients under the age of 18 years, with a diagnosis of congenital cervical cyst at CGMH from January 1, 1983 to June 30, 2002, were retrieved from the Department of Pathology. There were 204 boys and 127 girls. We reviewed the histology of all cases and correlated it with clinical information in the medical records. RESULTS: Thyroglossal duct cysts, the most common congenital neck cyst, accounted for 54.68% of all cases, followed by cystic hygromas (25.08%), branchial cleft cysts (16.31%), bronchogenic cysts (0.91%), and thymic cysts (0.30%). Nine cases (2.72%) remained unclassified. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest series regarding pediatric cervical cysts in the literature to date. Thyroglossal duct cysts were the most common congenital cervical cyst encountered. Our experience indicates that each type of cyst has its unique location in the neck and is highly associated with its embryonic origin. Complete and precise clinical information is a prerequisite in order for pathologists to make accurate diagnoses of congenital cervical cysts. (+info)Bronchogenic cyst. (8/82)
The clinical presentation of the bronchogenic cyst is variable, from respiratory distress at birth to late appearance of symptoms. In order to determine clinical features and treatments, we retrospectively studied the medical records and pathology reports of all patients with bronchogenic cysts (n = 22) referred to our surgical department from February 1985 through January 2002. They included 18 male and 4 female patients with an age range of 1 to 38 years (average, 16.4 years). There were 14 mediastinal, 2 hilar, and 6 intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts. Symptoms were present in 18 of the 22 patients. Cough was the most common symptom (45%). Ten patients (45%) presented with complications: severe hemoptysis, pneumothorax and pleuritis, esophageal compression, infected cyst, and postobstructive pneumonia. In all patients, complete resection of the bronchogenic cyst was performed by thoracotomy A postoperative sequela occurred in only 1 patient, who had a persistent air leak. There were no late sequelae, nor was there a recurrence of the cyst. The follow-up period ranged from 8 months to 12 years (mean, 5.2 years). Because a confident preoperative diagnosis is not always possible and because complications are common, we recommend surgical resection of all suspected bronchogenic cysts in operable candidates. (+info)The term "bronchogenic" refers to the fact that these cysts arise from the bronchial tree, which is the network of airways that branch off from the trachea (windpipe) and lead to the lungs.
Bronchogenic cysts are typically located in the periphery of the lung, away from the center of the chest cavity. They can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter, and may be filled with air or fluid.
The exact cause of bronchogenic cysts is not known, but they are thought to result from abnormal development of the lung tissue during fetal life. They may be inherited in some cases, and there is a slightly higher risk of developing a bronchogenic cyst if there is a family history of the condition.
Bronchogenic cysts can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
* Coughing
* Wheezing
* Chest pain
* Shortness of breath
* Fatigue
In some cases, bronchogenic cysts may become infected or rupture, leading to more severe complications such as pneumonia or respiratory failure.
Diagnosis of a bronchogenic cyst typically involves a combination of chest X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. A bronchogenic cyst is often visible on these imaging tests as a well-defined mass in the lung.
Treatment for a bronchogenic cyst usually involves surgical removal of the cyst, although in some cases, observation may be recommended if the cyst is small and not causing any symptoms. Surgery is typically performed through a small incision in the chest, and may involve the use of a thoracoscope (a flexible tube with a camera and light on the end) to visualize the cyst.
In addition to surgical removal, other treatments for bronchogenic cysts may include antibiotics if the cyst becomes infected, or pain management medication if the cyst is causing discomfort.
Overall, while a bronchogenic cyst can be a serious condition, with proper diagnosis and treatment, most people are able to recover fully and lead normal lives.
The risk factors for developing bronchogenic carcinoma include smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke, exposure to radon gas, asbestos, and certain industrial chemicals, as well as a family history of lung cancer. Symptoms of bronchogenic carcinoma can include coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, fatigue, weight loss, and coughing up blood.
Bronchogenic carcinoma is diagnosed through a combination of imaging tests such as chest x-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and positron emission tomography (PET) scans, as well as biopsy. Treatment options for bronchogenic carcinoma can include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these. The prognosis for bronchogenic carcinoma is generally poor, with a five-year survival rate of about 18%.
Prevention is the best approach to managing bronchogenic carcinoma, and this includes quitting smoking, avoiding exposure to secondhand smoke and other risk factors, and getting regular screenings if you are at high risk. Early detection and treatment can improve survival rates for patients with bronchogenic carcinoma, so it is important to seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen over time.
There are different types of mediastinal cysts, including:
1. Thymic cysts: These are usually benign and arise from abnormal development of the thymus gland.
2. Cystic hygromas: These are rare congenital tumors that are caused by the abnormal growth of the lymphatic system.
3. Lymphangioma: These are also rare, and are caused by the abnormal growth of lymphatic vessels.
4. Teratoma: These are very rare, and are caused by the abnormal growth of cells from all three germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm).
Symptoms of mediastinal cysts can include chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing, and difficulty swallowing. These symptoms can vary depending on the size and location of the cyst.
Diagnosis of a mediastinal cyst is typically made through a combination of imaging studies such as chest X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. A fine needle aspiration biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment of mediastinal cysts depends on the type and size of the cyst, as well as the symptoms it is causing. Small, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger cysts that are causing symptoms may need to be surgically removed. In some cases, the cyst may be drained using a thoracentesis or chest tube.
Prognosis for patients with mediastinal cysts is generally good, especially if the cyst is benign and small in size. However, larger cysts that are not treated can lead to complications such as infection, respiratory problems, and compression of nearby structures. In rare cases, malignant mediastinal cysts may be present, which can have a poorer prognosis if left untreated.
Overall, mediastinal cysts are relatively rare and can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe. While most are benign, it is important to seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen over time, as timely diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes for patients with these cysts.
There are several types of esophageal cysts, including:
1. Esophageal duplication cysts: These are the most common type of esophageal cyst and occur when there is a duplicate layer of tissue in the esophagus.
2. Esophageal epidermoid cysts: These are small, round cysts that develop from skin cells and are usually found in the lower part of the esophagus.
3. Esophageal mucocele cysts: These are fluid-filled sacs that form in the mucous membrane of the esophagus.
4. Esophageal papilloma cysts: These are small, finger-like growths that protrude into the esophagus and can cause irritation and inflammation.
Esophageal cysts can be diagnosed using imaging tests such as endoscopy, computed tomography (CT) scans, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Treatment options for esophageal cysts depend on the type and size of the cyst, but may include watchful waiting, medications to reduce inflammation, or surgical removal.
Esophageal cysts are relatively rare, and their exact cause is not fully understood. However, they can be associated with other conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Bronchopulmonary Sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital abnormality that affects the lungs and airways. It occurs when a portion of the lung develops abnormally during fetal development, resulting in a separate compartment or "sequestrum" that is not connected to the main airway. This sequestrum is surrounded by a membrane and contains blood vessels, air cells, and other structures found in normal lung tissue.
The symptoms of BPS can vary depending on the size and location of the sequestrum, but may include:
* Difficulty breathing (dyspnea)
* Coughing up blood (hemoptysis)
* Chest pain (toracalgia)
* Fatigue
* Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
* Recurrent respiratory infections
BPS can be diagnosed using imaging tests such as chest X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A lung biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment for BPS typically involves surgery to remove the sequestrum and repair any damage to the surrounding lung tissue. In some cases, surgery may not be possible or may not completely resolve the symptoms, in which case other treatments such as oxygen therapy, respiratory therapy, and medications may be used to manage the condition.
Overall, Bronchopulmonary Sequestration is a rare and complex congenital abnormality that requires careful evaluation and management by a team of medical professionals, including pulmonologists, surgeons, and other specialists. With appropriate treatment, many individuals with BPS can experience improved respiratory function and quality of life.
There are many different types of cysts that can occur in the body, including:
1. Sebaceous cysts: These are small, usually painless cysts that form in the skin, particularly on the face, neck, or torso. They are filled with a thick, cheesy material and can become inflamed or infected.
2. Ovarian cysts: These are fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovaries. They are common in women of childbearing age and can cause pelvic pain, bloating, and other symptoms.
3. Kidney cysts: These are fluid-filled sacs that form in the kidneys. They are usually benign but can cause problems if they become large or infected.
4. Dermoid cysts: These are small, usually painless cysts that form in the skin or organs. They are filled with skin cells, hair follicles, and other tissue and can become inflamed or infected.
5. Pilar cysts: These are small, usually painless cysts that form on the scalp. They are filled with a thick, cheesy material and can become inflamed or infected.
6. Epidermoid cysts: These are small, usually painless cysts that form just under the skin. They are filled with a thick, cheesy material and can become inflamed or infected.
7. Mucous cysts: These are small, usually painless cysts that form on the fingers or toes. They are filled with a clear, sticky fluid and can become inflamed or infected.
8. Baker's cyst: This is a fluid-filled cyst that forms behind the knee. It can cause swelling and pain in the knee and is more common in women than men.
9. Tarlov cysts: These are small, fluid-filled cysts that form in the spine. They can cause back pain and other symptoms, such as sciatica.
10. ganglion cysts: These are noncancerous lumps that form on the joints or tendons. They are filled with a thick, clear fluid and can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
It's important to note that this is not an exhaustive list and there may be other types of cysts that are not included here. If you suspect that you have a cyst, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
