ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Bronchogenic cysts are benign lesions derived from the primitive foregut. They frequently occur in the mediastinum, most commonly at the subcarinal level. Subdiaphragmatic location for bronchogenic cysts is extremely rare.METHODS:
A 40-year-old woman presented with worsening dysphagia and was diagnosed as a bronchogenic cyst arising from infradiaphragmatic esophagus by computed tomographic scan and endoscopic ultrasound-guided aspiration. Total laparoscopic enucleation of the cystic mass was performed.RESULTS:
The postoperative esophagogram revealed no leak or reflux and the patient was discharged on day 2. The histopathologic examination revealed a bronchogenic cyst. No recurrence of the cyst or symptoms was noted at 6 months.CONCLUSIONS:
Infradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts are uncommon and may become symptomatic secondary to compression of surrounding structures. A complete resection by laparoscopy is feasible and represents a safe and minimally invasive alternative to traditional resection through laparotomy or thoracotomy.
