Project description:IntroductionRetroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst, typically situated in the subdiaphragmatic region, is a rare congenital benign developmental abnormality arising from dysplasia of the foregut and abnormal budding of the tracheobronchial tree. Due to its low incidence, there are limited reports regarding this condition.Case presentationFour retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts near the left adrenal gland were identified without accompanying clinical symptoms. One case was misdiagnosed as an adrenal tumor prior to surgery, while the others were diagnosed as retroperitoneal cysts of uncertain origin. All cases underwent surgical resection, with three being performed laparoscopically and one utilizing robot-assisted techniques. Pathological reports confirmed the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst in each instance. The prognosis was favorable for all four patients, with no complications or recurrences observed. Additionally, a literature review was conducted, encompassing 82 cases, which revealed similar characteristics and radiological manifestations in the majority of cases.ConclusionAlthough retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts are rare developmental malformations lacking distinctive clinical and radiological features, reported cases exhibit similarities in certain clinical and imaging characteristics. This report offers additional insights into the diagnosis and management of this rare disease. Future reports are essential to enhance understanding of this disease.

Project description:Bronchogenic cysts originate from abnormal budding of the tracheal diverticula during the embryological period. Inaccuracy in the process of growing of the ventral foregut will give rise to bronchogenic cyst. Scapular bronchogenic cyst is an extremely rare form of this anomaly. A three years old boy suffered for 2 years with left sided suprascapular cystic lesion which was gradually increasing in size. The swelling was 4 × 3 cm in size and non tender. The cyst was evaluated by CT scan that showed complex cystic lesion over the left scapular spine. Total excision of the cyst was done and histopathology showed cutaneous bronchogenic cyst. The proposed mechanism for such cutaneous lesion is that the accessory buds from the tracheobronchial tree/primitive foregut migrated from the thorax in an aberrant manner to lie in periscapular positions. The definitive treatment of scapular lesions is total surgical excision. The final diagnosis is based on the histopathological findings in the majority of cases.

Project description:A 31-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for evaluation of a cardiac mass in the right atrium. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging indicated a cystic mass filled with fluid accumulation in the right atrium. The mass was identified as a cardiac cyst and was surgically removed. Pathological examination revealed an extremely rare bronchogenic cyst. Bronchogenic cysts are benign congenital abnormalities of primitive foregut origins that form in the mediastinum during embryonic development. There is unusual clinical dilemmas surrounding the treatment plan for cardiac surgery or biopsy of cardiac masses, especially in patients with rare cardiac cysts. The anatomical location of the cyst can be related to various clinical symptoms and complications. In cases of indeterminate cardiac cysts, direct cyst removal without prior biopsy is of utmost importance.

Project description:IntroductionHydatid disease is a major zoonotic disease. After the liver, the lungs are the common site of involvement. Clinical manifestations of the disease depend on the site and size of the cysts as well as the presence of complications. The majority of the cases remain asymptomatic. Complicated pulmonary cysts can present as chest pain, cough, shortness of breath, and hemoptysis. Sometimes, imaging is not sufficient for diagnosis and histopathological evaluation can provide the confirmatory diagnosis.Case presentationA 32-year-old female presented with the complaints of episodic hemoptysis for the duration of two years. Radiological imaging could not provide a confirmatory diagnosis. Bronchoscopy was planned further. An endobronchial biopsy was taken for histopathological evaluation after seeing the whitish membranous structure within the right middle lobe bronchus. Hence, the diagnosis of ruptured cystic pulmonary hydatidosis was made.Clinical discussionEchinococcus granulosus is the cause of cystic pulmonary hydatid disease which is transmitted through contamination by the infected definitive host, mostly dogs. Most cases remain asymptomatic for a long period. Hydatid disease has many clinical and radiological forms which should be recognized and included in the differential diagnosis of many pulmonary problems. Sometimes, imaging and serological studies may not confirm the diagnosis, histopathological evaluation may be required.ConclusionUncomplicated hydatid cysts are most commonly diagnosed incidentally in the adult population. Complicated hydatid cyst can present with various clinical manifestations. Episodic hemoptysis is one of the manifestations in our case. Clinicians should be aware of the typical as well as atypical manifestations of pulmonary hydatid disease.

Project description:A 35 year old woman presented with two episodes of spastic paraparesis, occurring in the third trimester of two consecutive pregnancies. The neurological symptoms seemed to be caused by an intramedullary cyst in the thoracic spinal cord. The cyst was subtotally removed and histopathologically diagnosed as enterogenous cyst. Other congenital abnormalities were absent. The peculiar timing of the clinical manifestation of an intramedullary cyst has not been described before. An unequivocal explanation for this phenomenon is missing, but several factors related to pregnancy that may play a part are discussed.

Project description:Intracardiac bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare congenital anomalies that arise during foregut development when the embryologic heart tube and ventral foregut are in close proximity to one another. We report a case of an interatrial septal bronchogenic cyst found on non-contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) in a 66-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with chest pain. Further cardiac investigations, including contrast-enhanced CT angiogram of the heart, transthoracic echocardiogram, and transesophageal echocardiogram, revealed a cystic mass in the lipomatous interatrial septum. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with a bronchogenic cyst of the interatrial septum. No surgical intervention was pursued, as the mass remained stable, and the cardiothoracic surgeon did not recommend excision. This case highlights a rare case of a symptomatic bronchogenic cyst arising in the interatrial septum diagnosed by imaging modalities. Bronchogenic cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis of intracardiac tumors.

Project description:BackgroundBronchogenic cysts are rare congenital diseases, which are believed to occur through the separation of small diverticula buds from an abnormal budding process in the primitive foregut during the formation of the tracheobronchial tree. Ectopic types located in the thyroid region are extremely rare.Case descriptionIn this study, we present two cases of cervical bronchogenic cysts identified during minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT). The first case involved a 24-year-old male who presented with a persistent neck mass measuring 41 mm in the right cervical region for a duration of 2 weeks. The second case involved a 36-year-old male diagnosed with right papillary thyroid cancer for 2 months. The presence of any additional lesions was not identified prior to surgery. During surgery, the cysts were identified, resembling metastatic lymph nodes or lymphatic tuberculosis. Both cases were diagnosed with bronchogenic cysts with typical pathological features. The patients achieved successful recovery with no recurrence observed during the follow-up period. The morphological characteristics showed both variations and commonalities intraoperatively.ConclusionsThis report aims to enhance the awareness of cervical bronchogenic cysts by providing comprehensive insights into the imaging, pathology, and clinical features. Since the lack of trustworthy preoperative diagnosis, we recommend suitable patients to have all suspected bronchogenic cysts removed via surgery, especially complete excision.
