Paraesophageal bronchogenic cyst mimicking oesophageal tumour

Abstract

Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions result from abnormal budding of the ventral foregut and depending on the timing of abnormal development cysts may locate within the mediastinum or lung parenchyma. In the case which the density of the cyst is higher it is possible to different the cyst from the tumoural pathology. In our case report we present a bronchogenic cyst mimicking tumoural pathology. It is always suggested to total removal of the cyst to treatment. © NZMA.
