Bronchogenic Cysts

Bronchogenic cysts are generally detected in the mediastinum, along the tracheobronchial tree, or in the lung parenchyma. Subcutaneous presternal bronchogenic cysts have been rarely described, and they are usually of small size (<3 cm) and reported in children. We report a case of giant presternal subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst in a 20-year-old man. Presternal subcutaneous bronchogenic cysts, despite their rarity, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all subcutaneous cystic masses, independent of their size and the patient’s age.

Careful Assessment

Benign cysts can occur in women of all ages, but they have a predilection for women in their 40s and 50s, and are far less common in younger and older women. Most cysts arise at the level of the terminal duct-lobular unit (TDLU); less commonly, cysts are caused by ectasia of central ducts. This chapter, appearing in the section on circumscribed mass, reviews the key clinical and imaging features, differential diagnosis, and management recommendations for primary cystic masses, including simple cysts, complicated cysts, and clustered microcysts. Careful assessment of sonographic features usually allows a definitive diagnosis of these benign entities that do not typically require tissue sampling. Some complex masses containing fluid and/or cystic-appearing components may require tissue sampling for diagnosis.

Background. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) rarely results in diffuse ascites. Severe adhesive disease secondary to PID may lead to the formation of inclusion cysts and even pelvic peritoneal nodularity due to postinflammatory scarring and cause an elevation of serum CA-125 levels. The constellation of these findings may mimic an ovarian neoplasm.Case. We report a case of a 22-year-old female who presented with multiple pelvic cysts and diffuse ascites due toChlamydia trachomatisinfection. The initial gynecologic exam did not reveal obvious evidence of PID; however, a positiveChlamydia trachomatistest, pathologic findings, and the exclusion of other etiologies facilitated the diagnosis.Conclusion.Chlamydia trachomatisand other infectious agents should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a young sexually active female with abdominal pain, ascites, and pelvic cystic masses. Thorough workup in such a population may reduce the number of more invasive procedures as well as unnecessary repeat surgical procedures.

Developmental Malformations

Foregut cystic developmental malformations (FCDM) are a type of rare cystic lesion. The occurrence of FCDM is exceedingly uncommon in the intraoral location. We report three cases of FCDM with intraoral location who presented at Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya, New Delhi, India, in 2016, 2017 and 2018 with symptoms of respiratory distress and feeding difficulties. Two patients were male and one was female with an age range of 29 days to eight years. The clinical differential diagnosis included mucocele, ranula, dermoid, lymphangioma, teratoma, thyroglossal duct cyst, etc. All patients were treated with simple surgical excision and diagnosed, based on histopathology, with FCDM. These should be considered as differential diagnosis of head and neck midline cystic mass lesions. This case report aimed to discuss differential diagnosis and appropriate terminology for these cystic masses as there is varied and ambiguous nomenclature.Keywords: Bronchogenic Cyst; Cyst; Congenital Abnormalities; Oral Cavity; Case Report; India.

Abstract Background: Large intracardiac bronchogenic cysts are rare mediastinal masses, however they must always be considered in the differential diagnosis of heart failure. Case Presentation: We present a 60-year-old female patient with de novo atrial fibrillation and heart failure, resulting from an incidental large intrapericardial mass. The patient underwent successful surgical resection, with pathological findings confirming a bronchogenic cyst.Conclusions: Large bronchogenic cysts located intrapericardially are very rare, however they should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
