“…A bronchogenic cyst is a congenital abnormal formation from the primitive foregut [ 1 ]. During the third to seventh week of development [ 2 ], bronchogenic cysts surge from the tracheobronchial of the primitive foregut as abnormal budding [ 3 ].…”

“…Before the fusion of pleuroperitoneal membranes, a part of the tracheobronchial tree can be separated entirely and migrate, giving rise to a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst [ 2 ]. However, retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts are usually situated on the superior border of the pancreas or near the left adrenal gland [ 1 ].…”

“…The congenital cyst type is more frequent [ 6 ] and is less likely to be malignant than solid lesions [ 5 ]. The diagnosis is commonly performed incidentally during imaging exams [ 1 ]. Excision is advised to establish a diagnosis, treat any symptoms, and avoid complications, even when infected [ 3 ].…”

We present a case of a bronchogenic cyst in the retrorectal space that was successfully treated with a unique sacrococcygeal surgical approach, thus avoiding abdominal access. This report aims to enhance the literature with our technique and to help the scientific community in treating future retrorectal bronchogenic cyst cases. A 19-year-old man presented to the hospital with testicular pain refractory to overthe-counter analgesics. A cyst lesion in the presacral region was found during pelvic magnetic resonance imaging. We identified the cyst's epithelium as the respiratory type, containing ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with foci of squamous metaplasia. The bronchogenic cyst is abnormal from the primitive foregut, and its location on the retrorectal site is rare. Patients with this type of lesion are usually asymptomatic, and discovery is commonly incidental during imaging exams. Excision is advised, and the prognosis is good after retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst removal. Our description of the topic is essential to assist future similar cases.

BACKGROUND Bronchogenic cysts are rare developmental anomalies that belong to the category of congenital enterogenous cysts. They arise from lung buds and are present at birth. The embryonic foregut is their origin. Typically, they are located within the chest cavity, particularly in the cavum mediastinale of the thoracic cavity or lodged in the pulmonary parenchyma, and are considered a type of lung bud malformation. CASE SUMMARY A 49-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital due to the detection of a retroperitoneal mass during a physical examination. Two weeks before admission, the patient underwent a physical examination and routine laboratory tests, which revealed a space-occupying mass in the retroperitoneal region. The patient did not report any symptoms (such as abdominal pain, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, high fever, or chills). The computed tomography (CT) revealed a retroperitoneal space-occupying lesion with minimal enhancement and a CT value of approximately 36 Hounsfield units. The lesion was not delineated from the boundary of the pancreatic body and was closely related to the retroperitoneum locally. CONCLUSION Following a series of tests, an abdominal mass was identified, prompting the implementation of a laparoscopic retroperitoneal mass excision procedure. During the investigation, an 8 cm × 7 cm cystic round-shaped mass with a distinct demarcation was identified in the upper posterior region of the pancreas. Subsequently, full resection of the mass was performed. Postoperative pathological examination reveled a cystic mass characterized by a smooth inner wall. The cystic mass was found to contain a white, viscous liquid within its capsule.

Subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts: Case series and literature review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations caused by aberrant foregut budding. They major occur in the thorax, with subdiaphragmatic cases being uncommon. Here, we present a series of 19 patients diagnosed with subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts histopathologically at a single institution in China from 2012 to 2021. A literature review was also conducted by searching the PubMed database using keywords related to “bronchogenic cysts” and “subdiaphragmatic,” yielding 107 cases. Taken together, the 126 cases had a median age of 41.0 years (interquartile range, 30.0–51.0 years) and 62 of them were male (49.2%). The cysts were most commonly detected in the left adrenal region (36.2%), followed by the pancreatic region (11.5%) and gastric cardia/lesser curvature of the stomach (9.2%). All patients except two underwent surgery for a definite diagnosis, symptom alleviation, and (or) malignancy prevention. Most patients recovered fast and were discharged from the hospital within 1 week after surgery, and the surgical complications were infrequent. The prognosis was generally favorable, as no recurrence was reported during the follow-up as long as 77 months.
