Bronchogenic Cysts

The majority of bronchogenic cysts occur in the mediastinum and especially within the pulmonary parenchyma. Bronchogenic cysts have various clinical and radiological manifestations. In adults, these are often asymptomatic and most of them are only incidentally recognized in imaging procedures. In infancy and early childhood, compression of the tracheobronchial tree leads to symptoms and occasionaly life-threatening complications. Bronchogenic cysts have been stated rarely among the causes of an arythmia in early childhood. We reported a 7-years old female presented with paroxysmal palpitation continuing for one month. Contrast enhanced computed tomography showed cystic mass in the right hemi-thorax, compressing the right atrium. After surgical removal histopathologic examination revealed a lining of respiratory epithelium associated with a wall containing smooth muscle, a finding that is characteristic of bronchogenic cyst.

A 30-year-old woman (gravida 0) visited our hospital with a complaint of right lower abdominal pain. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a 5-cm swollen right ovary, which was suspected to be a mature cystic teratoma. Pelvic examination revealed moderate pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a 44-mm cystic mass containing fat and calcified material in the right pelvis. Since torsion was suspected, emergent laparoscopic surgery was performed. Intraoperative findings were a swollen right ovary without torsion or congestion. Two small pedunculated 1- and 2-cm diameter paratubal cysts that grew from almost the same place of the ampulla of the right fallopian tube were observed. The thin stalk of the 1-cm paratubal cyst was entangled around the stalk of the 2-cm paratubal cyst, with its head congested. Through a small abdominal laparoscopic incision, the tumor of the right ovary and the two paratubal cysts were excised. Histopathological examination revealed that the right ovarian tumor was a mature cystic teratoma, and the two paratubal cysts had no malignancy. This case showed that only a 2-cm tumor with congestion caused the acute abdomen.

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.

Left Flank Pain

Bronchogenic cysts are foregut-derived developmental anomalies most commonly encountered in the mediastinum and rarely in the abdomen or retroperitoneally. A comprehensive review of the English-language literature of subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts (sBCs) revealed only 48 reported cases of sBC. Although most cases are incidentally discovered, preoperative differential diagnosis often includes tumors with malignant potential and necessitates surgical resection to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Herein, we describe a case of a 46-year-old female presenting with intermittent left flank pain, upon which computed tomography demonstrated a retroperitoneal mass. Upon resection, histopathology revealed the mass to be a thin-walled cystic mass lined by ciliated columnar cells and cartilage, consistent with a subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst. A comprehensive literature review of sBC was also performed.

Case Presentation: A 28-year-old female presented to the emergency department complaining of right lower abdominal pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was done, which showed a 15-centimeter right adnexal cyst with adjacent “whirlpool sign” concerning for right ovarian torsion. Transvaginal pelvic ultrasound (US) revealed a hemorrhagic cyst in the right adnexa, with duplex Doppler identifying arterial and venous flow in both ovaries. Laparoscopic surgery confirmed right ovarian torsion with an attached cystic mass, and a right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed given the mass was suspicious for malignancy. Discussion: Ultrasound is the test of choice for diagnosis of torsion due to its ability to evaluate anatomy and perfusion. When ovarian pathology is on the patient’s right, appendicitis is high in the differential diagnosis, and CT may be obtained first. Here we describe a case where CT first accurately diagnosed ovarian torsion by demonstrating the whirlpool sign, despite an US that showed arterial flow to the ovary. Future studies should determine whether CT alone is sufficient to diagnose or exclude ovarian torsion.

ABSTRACT We report an extremely rare case of a Bronchogenic Cyst incidentally identified via contrast enhanced computed tomography in a one and half-month-old male infant, a known case of Ostium Secundum Atrial Septal Defect and mild pulmonary hypertension. The patient was evaluated in detail and cystic mass resembling a Bronchogenic Cyst was found over lower paratracheal mediastinal space. The patient was planned for excision of the posterior mediastinal lesion using a right limited postero-lateral thoracotomy incision and complete excision was done and the mass was pathologically confirmed to be a Bronchogenic Cyst. This case is one of the few rare cases of infants with acyanotic congenital heart defectd that were incidentally found to have a Bronchogenic Cyst. This case to our knowledge is one of the youngest patient yet and also highlights the importance of identifying rare causes like these amongst differentials of cough and wheeze responding poorly to regular treatment.

AbstractThe incidence of abdominal cysts in infants is 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 live births. Among the ovarian cysts in infants, serous cystadenoma is extremely rare with only few reported cases in the literature. Here, we report a case of a giant neonatal ovarian serous cystadenoma treated with laparoscopic cystectomy and confirmed by histopathological examination.A 27-year-old delivered a female baby with uneventful caesarean section at full term. The antenatal ultrasonography (USG) in third trimester had showed an abdominal cyst in the left side of the abdomen. Postnatal USG was suggestive of omental cyst. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the neonate showed a large cyst occupying the entire abdomen. On laparoscopic evaluation, a cystic mass filled with 500 mL of clear yellow fluid was seen in the left pelvic fossa. Left ovary could not be visualized separately. The right ovary, fallopian tubes, and uterus were normal. The entire cyst was removed and sent for histopathological examination. On gross examination, a unilocular cyst measuring 10×8×6.5 cm with a wall thickness of 0.2 cm was noted. On microscopic examination, the histomorphological features were consistent with serous cystadenoma of the ovary. There is a paucity of literature regarding pathological diagnosis of such cases and hence we report one such case.

Bronchogenic Cysts

Bronchogenic cysts arise from abnormal buds from the primitive esophagus and tracheobronchial tree, which do not extend to the site where alveolar differentiation occurs. Bronchogenic cysts are typically unilocular mucus field lesions arising from posterior membranous wall of the air way. The prenatal diagnosis usually is realized by two-dimensional ultrasound showing the large unilocular cystic image in the chest fetus. The prenatal percutaneous aspiration can reduce the risk of heart compression and permit better respiratory conditions to newborn. We present a case of a primiparous pregnant 23 year-old-woman prenatal ultrasound showed a large unilocular cyst in the left hemithorax with compression of the normal left lung tissue and contralateral mediastinal shift. This cyst was percutaneously aspirated without subsequent reaccumulation of fluid. The newborn did not have respiratory distress and the computed tomography scan confirmed the finding of a fluid-filled cyst in the left chest. The chest X-ray showed the displacement of the heart and the mediastinum from the left to the right. The prenatal diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst is very important to assess the degree of the compression of the normal lung and the mediastinum shift. Furthermore, the prenatal diagnosis permits planning delivery in the tertiary hospital with multidisciplinary team because of the risk of respiratory distress.

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.

Abstract A complete excision is the most reliable therapy for bronchogenic cysts (BC) but is often accompanied by technical difficulties due to severe adhesions. An 83-year-old-woman with poorly controlled diabetes noted worsening upper abdominal pain after meals and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass in the subcarinal region, and she underwent a thoracoscopic prone position surgery. The cyst wall was found to have strictly adhered to the adjacent organs, and the lesion was not amenable to a complete excision. We performed a fenestration of the cyst wall with the aspiration of an yellowish mucus content. After opening the cavity wide enough, the remnant luminal epithelium was ablated by electrocautery. Her clinical symptoms disappeared immediately after the surgery without any surgical morbidity. A prone-position thoracoscopic palliative fenestration is a feasible option for a symptomatic subcarinal BC.

Background: Endometriosis mainly affects female pelvic tissues and organs, and the presence of endometriosis in the kidney is extremely rare.Case Presentation: We report a case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with intermittent hematuria. She was found to have a cystic mass on renal ultrasonography, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed slight enhancement of the cystic wall and septa. These findings were indicative of cystic renal tumor. The patient subsequently underwent partial right nephrectomy. Histopathology revealed endometriosis of the right renal parenchyma. The patient recovered well and had no evidence of a recurrent renal mass at the 3 months' follow up.Conclusion: The possibility of renal endometriosis should be considered in a female patient with a cystic renal mass and clinical symptoms related to the menstrual cycle.
