  • Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and management of intrathoracic bronchogenic cysts. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four (n=24) patients with intrathoracic bronchogenic cysts were treated surgically between August 1990 and December 2009 at our institution. Patients were divided into two groups by bronchogenic cyst location: mediastinal or intrapulmonary. Symptoms at diagnosis, radiologic findings, locations, surgical methods, pathological findings, and surgical outcomes were investigated retrospectively from consecutive patient medical records. Results: There were 12 females (50.0%). The mean age was 26.8 (range, 5 to 64) years. The mean follow-up period was 27.3 (range, 1 to 121) months. There were 15 (62.5%) mediastinal and 9 (37.5%) intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts. Symptoms occurred in 8 patients with mediastinal bronchogenic cysts (53.3%) and 5 patients with intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts (55.6%) (p=1.000). On computed tomography (CT), 7 patients (46.7%) showed homogenous solid masses in mediastinal bronchogenic cysts and five (55.6%) patients exhibited heterogeneous cystic masses with air-fluid levels in intrapulmonary bronchogenic cystic masses. Open thoracotomy was performed in 17 (70.8%) patients, and video-assisted thoracic surgery was performed in 7 (29.2%) patients. On pathological findings, there were 16 (66.7%) complicated cysts, and in 13 symptomatic patients, 11 (84.6%) patients had complicated cysts. There was no operative death in this study. During the follow-up period, no recurrence was detected. Conclusion: Intrathoracic bronchogenic cysts have a wide variety of clinical characteristics and radiologic findings. Even though some patients do not experience symptoms and signs caused by bronchogenic cysts, serious symptoms and complications may develop with the passage of time.

  • Bronchogenic cysts,though known as a relatively common malformation of the mediastinum, were rarely discussed in Korea literatures. Since the surgical removal of asymptomatic lesions was adopted as the reasonable therapeutic principle,the incidence of bronchogenic cysts has been found higher than previously supposed. Four cases of bronchogenic cysts operated on in the department of chest surgery, SNUH, were reported and the related literatures were reviewed.

  • The bronchogenic cyst, one of rare congenital cystic disease, was reported occasionally since the first description of Bartholinus in 1678. The increased use of roentgenograms of the thorax and the widening scope of thoracic surgery was made, and much more cases of bronchogenic cysts has been observed. The most common location of a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst was the hilum. The treatment for bronchogenic cyst is surgical resection. Forty eight cases of bronchogenic cysts which were pathologically confirmed, are reported and the related literatures are reviewed.

  • Bronchogenic cyst is a congenital cystic lesion which is usually found within the lung parenchyme or mediasitnum. Since the surgical removal of asymptomatic lesions was adopted as the reasonable therapeutic principle and increased use of roentgenograms of the thorax, many more cases of bronchogenic cysts are being observed. Seven cases of bronchogenic cysts were presented and related literatures were reviewed.

  • Among varieties of the mediastinal tumors, benign developmental cysts [Entergenous cysts] occur about 10% of them. From the primitive foregut, tracheobronchial tree and esophagus develop at 3 weeks of its embryonal age, and bronchogenic cyst arises from accessory or supernumerary lung bud. Usually it remains isolated with surrounding structures, and causes no specific symptoms. But few cases of bronchogenic cysts have fistulous communication with esophagus causing compressive symptoms. We report a case of unusual complicated case of bronchogenic cyst with review of literatures.

  • Bronchogenic cysts are congenital and uncommon lesions which are derived from primitive forgut and usually found within the lung or mediastinum. The increased use of roentgenograms of the thorax and the widening scope of thoracic surgery, many more cases of bronchogenic cysts are being observed. Three cases of bronchogenic cysts operated in the department of thoracic surgery, C.A.F.G.H., are reported and the related literatures are reviewed.

  • Bronchogenic cysts are usually located in the pulmonary parenchyma or in the mediastinum. When bronchogenic cysts are located in the mediastinum, they are usually near the bronchus or esophagus, and rarely located in the retroperitoneal space. It is difficult to differentiate between bronchogenic cysts and benign cysts prior to surgert. We report here on a patient for who had a mass in the retroperitoneum, with the preoperative diagnosis being a benign neurogenic tumor. Via left open thoracotomy, pathologic reports revealed that the mass was a bronchogenic cyst. We report here on the case of a bronchogenic cyst that was located in the retroperitoneal space of the diaphragm.

  • We studied to evaluate CT characteristics of bronchogenic cysts. We retrospectively evaluated CT of 11 patients with pathologically proved bronchogenic cyst. Precontrast and postcontrast CT scan was performed in all. We analyzed CT with viewpoints of location, size, attenuation on pre- and postcontrast scan, and calcification. Three of 11 bronchogenic cysts were intrapulmonary in location and eight were located in the mediastinum. Two of 3 intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts were located in the right lower lobe, and the remaining one was left lower lobe. Intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts ranged from 6cm to 12cm in diameter (average, 9.7 cm). On CT, intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts appeared as thin-wall air cyst, homogenous water attenuation and soft tissue attenuation with air bubble respectively. Mediastinal bronchogenic cysts were located in posterior mediastinum(n=5), superior mediastinum(n=2), middle mediastinum(n=1) respectively. These cysts ranged in size from 3cm to 8cm in diameter (average, 5.0 cm). On CT, five showed homogenous water attenuation, two soft tissue attenuation similar to that of muscle, one air-fluid level. Calcification or contrast enhancement was not detected in any cases. On operative findings, all of intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts contained dirty pus-like material and all of mediastinal bronchogenic cysts contained whitish or yellowish mucus material. Bronchogenic cysts showed homogenous water density in many cases, homogenous soft tissue density, air-fluid level and air-filled cyst. The constellation of CT findings may be helpful in the diagnosis and differentiation of bronchogenic cyst.

  • 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 second case had double cysts; one in the superior and posterior mediastinum, the other in the lung parenchyme. 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.

  • Bronchogenic cysts were considered rare entities but many have recently been discovered in mass roentgenographic surveys of the chest and autopsy. Their origin were considered might be congenital or developing process. The treatment of bronchogenic cyst is surgical resection. Thirteen cases of bronchogenic cysts which were confirmed by pathologically, were operated in the Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Catholic Medical College and reported with related literature.
