The esophageal cyst result from a wrong cleavage of the primitive gut in the 4 weeks embryo. In embryo and after seperation of the tracheal diverticulum, the esophagus is lined with ciliated cells which are able cover a "cystic duplication". It is often difficult to distinguish between the bronchogenic and the esophageal cyst. Pathological findings showed the presence of a ciliated epithelium without cartilage which was diagnosed as an esophageal cyst. The patient was 21 year old man for evaluation of the cyst in the posterior mediastinum. The cyst was located the intramural esophagus. Microscopically, the cyst was lined with ciliated columnar epithelium and there was no evidence of cartilage. The cyst was confirmed as the intramural esophageal cyst.geal cyst.

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.

This is to report a case of bronchgenic cyst. While most of the bronchogenic cysts reported in the literature so far were located either in the lung parechym or in the mediastinum near the tracheal bifurcation or main bronchi. the cyst presenting in this study was originated in the wall of the esophagus and was reported to be very rare. The cystic tumor was found accidentally by X-ray fluoroscopic examination of the esophagus and stomach in the patient with gastric hemorrhage. X-ray study revealed that the cystic tumor was oval in shape and located in the left posterolateral wall of the esophagus in the thoracic lower third. Two surgical operations, gastrectomy for gastric hemorrhage and the resection of the cystic tumor, were carried out separately. Gastrectomy including the removal of prepyloric ulcer by the Billroth II type procedure was performed in regular fashion, and the cystic tumor was resected radically without any injury of the mucous membrane of the esophagus. The cyst removed appeared to be filled with mucinous material, and histological examination identified the tumor as a bronchogenic cyst with ciliated epithelial internal lining. Postperative course of the patient was uneventful.

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.

Esophageal duplication cysts are quite uncommon benign lesions of the esophagus that have previously been described as occurring only in the thoracic cavity. We experienced a rare case of completely intra-abdominal esophageal duplication cyst in a 10-year-old boy who has suffered from epigastric abdominal pain. Surgical excision is recommended at the time of cyst discovery whether symptoms present or not.

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.

기관지성 낭종은 전장에서 기인한 기형 낭종의 일종으로 폐나 종격동에 존재한다. 일반적으로 식도 근육층에 존재하는 낭성 병변은 전장의 장성 기형이다. 저자들은 연하곤란과 속쓰림으로 내원한 젊은 남자에서 식도 점막하 종양을 절제하였다. 종양은 식도 근육 안에 함몰되어 있었으며 점막 손상 없이 제거하였다. 조직학적 검사상 이 병변은 기관지성 낭종으로 밝혀졌다.

The gastroesophageal cyst is rare variety of benign developmental cysts in the mediastinum and it arises from sequestrations of nodules of forgut in the developing embryo.The patient was 23 year old man with complaint of right chest pain. Simple chest X-ray and chest CT scan showed a huge homogeneous cystic mass in the posterior mediastinum. The resected cystic mass showed combining of portion of esophagus and stomach. The cyst was confirmed as gastroesophageal cyst.

Bronchogenic cysts, though known as a relatively common malformation of the mediastinum, were rarely discussed in Korean literatures. Since the surgical removal of asymptomatic lesions was adopted as the reasonable therapeutic principle, the incidence of bronchogenic cysts were found to be higher than previously expected. Two cases of bronchogenic cysts operated on in The Dept. of Thoracic Surgery, Korea University Woo Sok Hospital were reported and related literatures were reviewed. Case 1. 5 year old boy with chief complaints of bulging cystic mass on left supraclavicular region during straining or coughing since his age of 2 was admitted, and cystogram with Lipiodol revealed hen-egg sized mass in the left antero-superior mediastinum without any communication with bronchus or esophagus. Cyst was successfully removed under general anesthesia thru left supraclavicular incision, and pathological examination of the cyst revealed thin cystic wall lined with stratified columnar epithelium and it`s content was milky white mucoid fluid devoid of any bacterial growth. Case 2. 15 year old school girl has been noted slowly growing walnut-sized mass on anterolateral side of the neck for 4 months without any subjective symptom except cosmetic problem... Mass was aspirated to find milky white mucoid fluid in some loculation and yellowish turbid fluid in other part due to chronic infection. Cystic tumor was removed under local anesthesia, which was loculated in between the trachea and esophagus without any communication, and pathological diagnosis of the cyst was bronchogenic cyst with columnar epithelial cell lining with moderate chronic inflammatory cell infiltrations. Postoperative conditions of the two cases were all excellent with normal life.

Esophageal duplication cyst is very rare mediastinal tumor which is congenital lesion of the esophagus. Esophageal duplication cyst could be excised with video assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) if it is relatively small, cystic lesion and not adhered severely to the surrounding tissues such as lung, trachea, bronchus, esophagus and pleura. We report a case of an esophageal duplication cyst which was located in the right thoracic cavity below carina and could be excised completely and repaired by interrupted suture with 3.0 black silk. The patient was discharged at 10 days after operation with good condition and has been in uneventful condition 2 months after operation.
