Management of cervical bronchogenic cyst via minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy: a report of two cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bronchogenic 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 description

In 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.
