2024年10月10日 · Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations of the bronchial tree (a type of bronchopulmonary foregut malformation). They can present as a mediastinal mass that may enlarge and cause local compression. It is also considered …

2024年11月9日 · Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital malformations that arise from abnormal budding of the foregut during early embryonic development, typically occurring along the tracheobronchial tree, in the mediastinum, or within the lung parenchyma.

Initial CXR: Bronchogenic cyst; Follow-up CXR: Post surgical resection; Follow-up CXR 2 weeks post surgical resection

Chest x-ray showing a fully expanded lung with no residual opacity. They are found most often in young adults and are rare in infancy. Usual symptoms appear as a result of compression by the cyst, e.g., difficulty breathing or swallowing, cough, and chest pain.

Very large multiloculated cystic lesion in all compartments of the mediastinum creating mass effect and encasement of the trachea and surrounding mediastinal structures. It extends from above the great vessels to the diaphragm. It displays …

CXR shows a rounded retrocardiac mass on the left. CT with contrast of the chest shows the mass to not enhance and to be located anterior to the aorta and to the left of the inferior vena cava.

2018年12月14日 · Here is a short video discussing how to approach a CXR & Chest CT case showing bronchogenic cyst, especially useful for radiology residents and PG aspirants.

2014年1月1日 · The diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst should be considered in patients with recurrent chest infections. Chest pain, cough, dyspnea, and dysphagia are possible clinical manifestations of bronchogenic cyst. These result from compression of the esophagus and/or major airways by the adjacent bronchogenic cyst.

CXR demonstrates an oval soft-tissue density para-hilar mass on the right ( arrow) representing a bronchogenic cyst. This is causing air-trapping in the right lung because of compression of the main bronchus. Cyst contents vary from water to proteinaceous fluid (usually hypodense on CT, T1 intermediate and T2 high signal on MRI).
