Esophegael Bronchogenic Cyst in an Adult
Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions that originate from the foregut in the pulmonary and mediastinal localization. Esophageal bron-chogenic cysts are quite rare but are somewhat more common in children. Our aim in this study is to report our experience with an esophage-al bronchogenic cyst in an adult. We report a single case. A 31-year-old male patient presented to the Kafkas University Hospital with symp-toms of dysphagia and epigastric pain. Thorax CT with contrast revealed a cystic lesion 46x48 mm in size with dense content that pushed the middle esophagus to the left and compressed the surrounding structures. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a mass from 35 cm to 39 cm that covered a third of the lumen. The pathology report revealed a bronchogenic cyst. There were no postoperative complications and the patient was discharged on the 7th day. This case report demonstrates that bronchogenic cysts can be found in adults as esophageal masses just like in children, as reported previously in many studies. One must be careful regarding esophageal bronchogenic cysts although they are rare. Surgery may be required to prevent complications.
