Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital anomalies arising from an abnormal budding of the primitive foregut or tracheobronchial tree. They are most commonly identified in the mediastinum though they can be found in the lung. Ectopic bronchogenic cysts are uncommon in clinical practice, and even rarer when located in the thyroid gland. Read More

Abstract: The whole-body postablation scan of a 38-year-old man, with history of papillary thyroid cancer, revealed a focus of intense 131I accumulation about the lower thoracic vertebrae. SPECT/CT revealing a soft tissue lesion adjacent the T9 to T10 vertebrae, which was reported as neurofibroma on the subsequently performed MRI. However, the lesion was confirmed as a bronchogenic cyst on biopsy. Read More

Congenital pulmonary malformations comprise a heterogenous group of rare developmental diseases. The most common malformations are the tracheal bronchus, bronchial atresia, bronchogenic cyst, pulmonary sequestration, congenital lobar emphysema, and congenital pulmonary airway malformation. Due to their space-consuming effect, patients suffer early postnatal respiratory distress which generally requires immediate surgical resection. Read More
