This is a case report of extralobar pulmonary sequestration with bronchogenic cyst located in aorto-pulmonary window area of left thorax in a 17 months old male patient. In this case, a bronchogenic cyst was presented immediately adjacent to the extralobar pulmonary sequestration. Communication between the extralobar pulmonary sequestration and bronchogenic cyst was not seen grossly or microscopically. The lesion was simply excised and the postoperatively course was uneventful.

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.

A routine chest radiograph in a 10 months old male infant revealed a giant air filled cystic lesion of the left hemithorax under tension. At thoracotomy, a large left lower lobe intraparenchymal cyst required lobectomy and the pathological finding were consistent with a bronchogenic cyst. This kind of parenchymal bronchogenic cyst is uncommon lesion, and we have performed successful surgical resection. After this lobectomy, this patient was complete recovered and postoperative course was uneventful.

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.

A case of bronchogenic cyst associated with a partial pericardial defect is reported. Bronchogenic cysts are not so rare in incidence, but they are more rare when associated with a pericardial defect, the first case being reported by Rusby and Sellors in 1945. Recently, we experienced such a rare case of a bronchogenic cyst with a partial pericardial defect. The patient is a 39-year-old female and she was found to have a left anterior mediastinal mass during routine chest X-ray. During the operation, we detected partial pericardial defect after removal of the mediastinal mass. The pericardial defect was repaired with a Gore-Tex Membrane. The pathological examination of the mass showed a bronchogenic cyst. The patient had an uneventful hospital course.

The bronchogenic cysts result from an abnormal budding or branching of the tracheo-bronchial tree from the primitive foregut. Bronchogenic cysts may be pulmonary or mediastinal. The most common location for a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst is in relation to the carina. They are usually solitary. They usually are thin walled and contain fluid that is most often clear. The cyst is lined by ciliated columnar epithelium. The bronchogenic cyst i~ usually asymptomatic. They can cause pressure symptoms. When they become infected, symptoms do occur. We report 3 cases of bronchogenic cysts experienced at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital. Case I, a man of 20 year-old, had a cyst at the site between aortic arch and left pulmonary artery. He complained cough and dyspnea. The cyst wasn`t communicated with tracheobronchial tree. Case II was 55-year-old male who had had hemoptysis. A huge cyst was located within the lower lobe of left lung and removed by pulmonary lobectomy. There were not any symptoms in Case III that was 6-year old girl. That cyst was located just next to the right main bronchus.

A case of bronchogenic cyst arising from an accessory lobe in a 7-month old baby was encountered at Seoul University Hospital. On exploration, right lung consisted of 4 lobes and a huge cyst was confined to an accessory lobe, which had no bronchial connection. The cyst was filled with jelly-like thick mucus; inner surface was glistening and smooth. Microscopically, the cyst was lined with pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Bronchogenic cyst, moreover, which arising from an accessory lobe is very rare and interesting. And so, case report and review of literature was made.

A case of bronchogenic cyst of the posterior mediastinum in a boy of 5 years of age was encountered at Seoul University Hospital. Scarcity of case reports in Korea and Japan suggests that bronchogenic cyst is a relatively rare entity in the Far East.

Bronchogenic cysts are uncommon congenital lesions which are derived from primitive foregut. Most of the bronchogenic cysts may occur at the tracheal bifurcation, both main bronchi, the lung parenchyme and the mediastinum. We experienced a case of bronchogenic cyst with a esophageal stalk. The diagnosis was made by simple chest x-ray and confirmed by bronchoscopy and chest CT. On the chest CT findings, 6.8X4.8 cm-sized oval shaped mass was located on the right posteroinferior side of the carina, elevating the right main bronchus and the thin wall of the mass was enhanced with contrast materials. On the operative findings, the esophagus and the cyst were connected with a stalk and the cyst was filled with mucinous materials. And on the histological findings, the mass was lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. Thus we report this case of bronchogenic cyst with review of literatures.

기관지성 낭종은 태아기에 원시전장으로부터 분화하는 비교적 드문 선천성 질환이며, 대부분 기관분기부, 양측 주기관지, 폐실질 그리고 종격동에서 발생한다. 40세 남자 환자로 호흡곤란과 흉부압박감을 주소로 입원하여, 컴퓨터 단층촬영 검사상 경계가 명확하고 크기가 7.2$\times$7.9 cm이며, 좌심방을 압박하는 균질의 종양이 발견되었고 심초음파 검사상 중등도의 승모판막 폐쇄부전을 보였다. 수술은 낭종을 완전히제거하였으며, 조직학적 검사상 기관지성 낭종으로 확진되었다. 추적관찰 결과 환자는 증상없이 잘 지내고 있었으며, 심초음파 검사상 승모판막 폐쇄부전은 경도로 호전되었다. 본 국립의료원에서는 승모판막 폐쇄부전증을 유발한 기관지성 낭종 1례를 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
