기관지기원 물혹은 드물게 발생하는 선천성 질환으로 주로 종격동에 분포하며 기관지와의 소통이 발생하는 경우, 악성으로 전환된 경우를 제외하고는 크기가 갑자기 커지는 경우는 드문 일이다. 1년 전 검진에서 시행한 단순 흉부 촬영에서 이상이 없었던 젊은 남자가 흉부검진에서 종격동 덩어리가 발견되어 급격한 크기의 증가가 확인되었던 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

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.

Isolated bronchogenic cysts of the diaphragm are rare abnormalities. They are usually asymptomatic unless secondarily infected or large enough to cause compression of vital structures. The patient was a 31-year-old man and had no symptoms except mild postprandial epigastric discomfort. The chest X-ray and chest C-T examination revealed a mediastinal mass at the left cardio-vertebro-phrenic angle. We performed the operation under the impression of solid mass at mediastinum. We revealed that the mass was bronchogenic cyst in diaphragm. Therefore we report this case with review of literatures.

The bronchogenic cyst is not so rare in incidence, but it is rare for this cyst to cause compression of trachea and main bronchi. A 6-year old female child was evaluated for coughing, fever and left total atelectasis. This patient had a history of frequent upper respiratory symptom like bronchial asthma since 6month after birth. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed external compression at distal trachea and both main bronchi. Computed Tomography revealed well demarcated homogeneous mass compressing distal trachea and main bronchi. The pathological examination showed bronchogenic cyst and this patient had uneventful recovery.

Bronchogenic cysts are uncommon congenital anomalies and commonly located in the mediastinum or lung parenchyma. Bronchogenic cyst in cervical area is rare and in posterior pharyngeal area is exteremely rare. Clinically, it is usually asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed. It is pathologically confirmed only when there are bronchial tissues such as pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, smooth muscle cells, mucous gland and/or cartilage. Since it has potential for malignant transformation and complication, complete excision is essential. We report a case of bronchogenic cyst located in the retropharyngeal space with a review of literature.

기관지성 낭종은 일반적으로 폐실질 내 혹은 종격동 내에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 종격동 내에 위치하는 경우 기관지와 식도 부근에 위치하나 식도에 함몰되어 있는 경우는 매우 드물다. 수술 전에 기관지성 낭종과 식도 낭종을 구분하는 것은 매우 어려워 식도 양성 종양으로 의심하고 수술을 시행하게 된다. 저자들은 우연히 발견된 식도 내 종양이 수술 절제를 통해 기관지성 낭종으로 밝혀져 보고하는 바이다.

Bronchogenic cysts are thought to be uncommon developmental anomalies. They develop from small buds or diverticuli that separate from the foregut in the formation of the tracheo-bronchial tree. They are nearly always located near the tracheal bifurcation; However, these lesions can occur anywhere along the tracheo-bronchial tree. We experienced a case of cervical bronchogenic cyst presenting sorely as an anterior neck mass in a 26-year-old woman. The neck ultrasonography showed as $1.4{\times}1.1cm$ sized hypoechoic lesion with a well-defined margin on the isthmic portion of the thyroid gland. Excision of the mass was carried out. The mass was superfical to the strap muscle and was contained within the subcutaneous tissue in the midline without any connection to the trachea. Grossly, the mass was an oval-shaped cystic lesion which measured 1.5 cm in the greatest diameter. The cyst was filled with thick, yellow, jelly-like material and the inner surface was smooth and glistening. Microscopically, the cyst showed a lining of ciliated columnar epithelium, beneath which was a loose areolar stroma containing plaques of mucous glands and mature cartilage. We thought this cervical bronchogenic cyst appeared to represent an expression of complete aberrent accessory lung bud detachment from the primitive foregut.

Bronchogenic cysts are developmental foregut anomalies usually located within the mediastinum or lung parenchyma. An isolated bronchogenic cyst of the diaphragm is very rare. Our case was a 56-year-old female patient who presented with pleuritic chest pain in her right chest. Chest and abdominal computed tomography revealed a large lobulated cystic mass that was accompanied with pleural effusion in the right lower hemithorax. The tumor showed focally calcified areas in the wall and abutted against the diaphragm. We performed complete excision of the cyst including a portion of the diaphragm attached to it. The pathological diagnosis was established as the bronchogenic cyst originating from the diaphragm. We report this case with a review of the literature.

기관지기원낭종은 primitive foregut의 발생학적 이상에 의해 형성되는 드문 질환이며, 주로 폐실질과 종격동에 발생한다. 피부나 피하조직에서 발생한 기관지기원낭종은 흔하지 않으며, 이 중 견갑부에 발생한 것은 매우 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 20개월 된 남아의 좌측 견갑부에 발생한 기관지지원 낭종 1예를 보고하고자 한다. 환아는 피부과에서 절개 생검 및 소파술을 시행 받았고, 표피 낭종으로 진단되었다. 하지만 상흔 치유 도중 추가적인 낭성 종괴가 촉진되었다. MRI상 피하조직에 경계가 분명한 낭성 종괴가 관찰되었다. 절제된 낭종은 점액세포를 동반하는 pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium로 피복되어 있었으며, 기관지기원낭종으로 진단되었다.
