Abstract
- Bronchogenic cysts are rare developmental anomalies of the primitive foregut that occur during embryogenesis. They may arise in the mediastinum or within pulmonary parenchyma and, less frequently, below or within the diaphragm. Presenting signs may vary from multiple symptomatic to asymptomatic. A 9-year-old boy was coincidentally found to have a round-shaped mass in chest X-ray which he did not possess during neonatal period. Computer tomography showed a round, homogeneous mass in posterior mediastinum which was adhered to the esophagus. The mass was surgically excised and pathologically confirmed bronchogenic cyst. We hereby present the case with review of literature.
