Bronchogenic cysts are a congenital cystic lesion which are usually found within the lung parenchyme or mediastinum. Two cases of bronchogenic cysts were presented and related literatures were reviewed. The first case of bronchogenic cyst was located in the wall of the esophagus. Preoperatively, this case was thought duplication cyst of esophagus, but postoperative microscopic examination showed the tumor was a bronchogenic cyst with respiratory epithelium.

The cyst in the mediastinum was extirpated and the other cyst in the lung was removed by right upper lobectomy. Postoperative course were uneventful in both patients.
