Abstract Bronchogenic cysts are considered rare airway anomalies that can have a significant impact on the well-being of infants. In this case report, we present a rare presentation of bronchogenic cyst presenting with early neonatal respiratory distress due to airway and vascular compression. Surgical excision was curative with an excellent prognosis.

Bronchogenic cysts are rare, congenital cysts originating from respiratory epithelium and typically found within the chest. Cutaneous bronchogenic cysts are exceedingly uncommon, with only 19 reported cases in the scapular region and almost exclusively occurring in male patients. Herein, we present the case of a female patient with recurrent cellulitis secondary to a bronchogenic cyst, which was diagnosed after surgical excision. We also provide a review of the literature to consolidate the current understanding of cutaneous scapular bronchogenic cysts. To our knowledge, this is the first such case reported from Canada.

AbstractIntroduction:Cystic lesions related to the upper airway are an unusual cause of infantile stridor. Such a lesion may exert a mass effect, with subsequent airway compromise.Case report:A six-month-old boy was transferred to our unit with a right-sided, level IV neck lump and a three-month history of chronic cough and, latterly, inspiratory stridor. Computed tomography revealed a large, unilocular, cystic, cervicothoracic lesion causing marked compression of the trachea. Airway endoscopy subsequently revealed the larynx to be displaced to the left, with severe external compression of the trachea from just below the subglottic level to immediately above the carina. The mediastinal lesion was excised via an external approach. The histological diagnosis was a bronchogenic cyst.Conclusion:Bronchogenic cysts are a rare cause of infantile stridor, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic cervical and mediastinal masses. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Neonatal Respiratory Distress

Hemothorax that produces acute respiratory distress in a newborn occurs rarely; only ten cases have been reported.1-9 We report another case (associated with hypoprothrombinemia and anemia) in a full-term infant. Thoracentesis successfully relieved the respiratory distress, and transfusion and parenteral vitamin K therapy reversed the bleeding diathesis. CASE REPORT A girl, weighing 3,070 gm, was born to a 30-year-old woman, after spontaneous labor and uncomplicated delivery. The Apgar score was 7 at one and five minutes. The infant was brought to the nursery at 10 minutes of age, where she was found to be a cyanotic black girl with grunting respirations and intercostal retractions.

Bronchogenic Cysts

Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions developing during early embryogenesis. The intradiaphragmatic location is extremely rare. We present a giant bronchogenic cyst arising from the left crus of diaphragm. Based on our literature review results, intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts have the following characteristics: 1) they are more common in female patients; 2) the patients are usually asymptomatic, or present with symptoms of chest pain, abdominal pain, and hiccups; 3) the cysts located in the left diaphragm are more than those in the right diaphragm, most of which are located in the area of the left diaphragm crus.

AbstractBronchogenic cysts are rare congenital benign lesions that are usually detected in the paediatric patient with symptoms of infection or compression on vital structures. They are rarely diagnosed in the adult population. We present a case of bronchogenic cyst presenting as a lump in the neck in an adult patient. Radiological imaging helped to diagnose this lesion accurately before any form of intervention. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Neonatal Respiratory Distress

AbstractBackground:A lingual thyroid is a known cause of oropharyngeal obstruction in the neonate. It can be asymptomatic, or present as stridor, dysphonia, dysphagia or dyspnoea with faltering growth. The therapeutic options include surgical resection.Case report:A 6-day-old female neonate, born at 36 weeks gestation, presented with stridulous breathing and poor feeding. Although the cause was initially thought to be laryngomalacia, nasendoscopy revealed a lingual thyroid. The baby had deranged thyroid function, as detected on neonatal screening, but this result was not available until a later date. Despite being symptomatic, the patient was managed medically; thyroxine therapy was associated with resolution of the respiratory symptoms.Conclusion:Nasendoscopy provides valuable information about an ectopic thyroid gland. Thyroid replacement therapy may help to suppress the size of the ectopic gland and ultimately prevent an unnecessary surgical procedure.

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.

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare cutaneous indolent neuroendocrine cancer, arising from the Merkel cells of the stratum basalis, of the epidermis. This type of tumor commonly arises in sun-exposed areas, such as head, neck, and lower extremities. Here, we describe a rare presentation of non-indolent proliferative type Merkel cell carcinoma. Case Report: This is a case-report of a 70-year-old Caucasian man with no pertinent past medical history, presenting as a large painless violaceous necrotic irregular bordered rapidly growing lesion, reaching to 8x10x15 cm3, within one-year period, on the lower back region with surface ulceration. Pelvic MRI showed a multilobulated enhancing soft tissue mass measuring 8.7x10.4x15.1 cm3 at the left gluteal region with exophytic extension to the left paraspinal muscles. The patient was admitted, tangential surgical excision and debridement of left flank wound was performed with partial primary closure. Pathology showed features of Merkel cell, show diffuse dot-like positivity with CK20 and are negative for CK7, there is diffuse positivity with NSE, synaptophysin and CD56 with strong diffuse Ki-67 positivity noted in >65% of tumor cells. CD99 shows diffuse small faint dot-like paranuclear positivity. Discussion: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive tumor that generally arises in sun-exposed regions. After an initial course of slow growth, starting as a painless violaceous non-pruritic domed-shaped lesion, the tumor becomes more aggressive, rapidly growing, with metastasis with local lymph nodes and regional tissue invasion. Sixty percent of tumors can rapidly grow within a three-month period after initial diagnosis. MCC is also clonally associated with is polyomavirus. MCC Contributing molecular pathogenesis is imperative to determining the causation of rare non-indolent MCC tumors, and its association with prognosis and treatment. In polyomavirus negative patients, consideration for molecular pathogenesis as etiology is imperative.
