Quiste broncogénico gástrico: una localización singular / Gastric bronchogenic cyst: a singular presentation

Los quistes broncogénicos son formaciones quísticas originadas por una anomalía de desarrollo del eje traqueobronquial durante la embriogénesis a partir de la pared ventral del intestino anterior. Se define al quiste broncogénico como una yema pulmonar ectópica cuya localización más frecuente es en la carina, intraparenquimatoso y en el mediastino; presenta otras localizaciones atípicas y menos comunes, como las regiones cervical, supraclavicular, esofágica, retroperitoneal y cutánea. Se presenta el caso de una mujer joven que consultó al servicio de urgencias con síntomas de dolor abdominal, a quien se le practicaron múltiples pruebas y se le diagnosticó un quiste broncogénico gástrico.

Bronchogenic cysts are cystic formations originated by a tracheobronchial axis developmental anomaly during embryogenesis from the ventral wall of the anterior intestine. A bronchogenic cyst is defined as an ectopic pulmonary bud with most frequent location in the carina, intraparenchymal and mediastinal, presenting atypical and less common locations such as the cervical, supraclavicular, esophageal, retroperitoneal, and cutaneous regions. We present the case of a young woman, who consults the emergency department with abdominal pain, who is subjected to multiple tests being diagnosed as gastric bronchogenic cyst

Bronchogenic Cyst of Stomach:Report of One Case / 中国医学科学院学报

Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital cysts caused by anomalism of foregut in the embryonic stage.They locate most frequently in the mediastinum and are rarely seen in stomach.Here we report a case of gastric bronchogenic cysts that was diagnosed and treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 2 to 9,2018.

A Life-Threatening Bronchogenic Cyst / 대한흉부외과학회지

A bronchogenic cyst causing cardiac tamponade is a rare condition. We report an unusual case of a bronchogenic cyst that caused cardiac tamponade. A 49-year-old female patient presented at our emergency room with complaints of palpitations and shortness of breath that had lasted for 5 days preceding the visit. Echocardiography revealed a very large cystic mass compressing the left a trium posteriorly, and a large amount of pericardial effusion caused the diastolic collapse of the ventricles. Atrial fibrillation and aggravated dyspnea were observed, and the patient’s vital signs were unstable after admission. We therefore performed an emergency operation. The bronchogenic cyst was resected by thoracotomy and the patient was discharged 12 days after the operation without any complications over 5 years of follow-up.

Delayed Bleeding of Coronary Artery after Thoracoscopic Intradiaphragmatic Bronchogenic Cyst Resection / 中国肺癌杂志

Bronchogenic cyst occurring in the diaphragm is rare and thoracoscopic cyst resection is mainly effective treatment. The coronary artery bleeding after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has never been described; here we report a case of left coronary artery injury after thoracoscopic itradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst resection, which may be caused by metallic troca or chest tube.

Bronchogenic cyst masquerading as malignant pericardial effusion with tamponade / 영남의대학술지

We report on a rare case involving a 23-year-old female patient with mediastinal cystic mass complicated with acute pericarditis and cardiac tamponade. Pericardial fluid demonstrated lymphocyte-predominant exudate and the level of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was unexpectedly elevated. Successive aspiration of mediastinal cystic mass revealed a very high level of CEA (>100,000 U/mL) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (>15,000 ng/mL). This patient was clinically diagnosed as an infected bronchogenic cyst complicated with pericarditis and cardiac tamponade. The treatment resulted in alleviation of her symptoms.

Esophageal Atresia with Bronchogenic Cyst / 소아외과

A baby was diagnosed with esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) on the next day after birth, and end-to-end anastomosis of esophagus with TEF ligation was performed. The distance between proximal and distal esophageal pouch was checked as 3 vertebral body lengths and a 1 cm-sized bronchogenic cyst (BC) was identified near carina on the right side, just below the proximal esophageal pouch. This case report described the baby who have a BC was located between the both esophageal pouch and a longer esophageal gap than usual EA with distal TEF.

Cervical Bronchogenic Cyst Mimicking Thyroid Cyst

Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital malformations that result from an abnormal development of the ventral foregut budding of the tracheobronchial tree at the time of organogenesis. They are usually located in the mediastinum and intrapulmonary regions. Localization in the cervical area is unusual, and specially, bronchogenic cysts presenting as thyroid and perithyroid cyst are quite rare. We report a case of bronchogenic cyst mimicking a thyroid colloid cyst. We tried percutaneous ethanol injection at 3 times for treatment of this thyroid cyst, but we failed, because of intractable cough. After cyst excision with thyroid lobectomy, we diagnosed the lesion to bronchogenic cyst. Bronchogenic cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of perithyroid cyst, which especially the lesion is intolerable cyst to enthanol injection.

Quiste broncogénico. Presentación de un caso / Bronchogenic cyst. Presentation of a case

Fundamentación: Los quistes broncogénicos constituyen el 10 % de las masas mediastinales en niños. Se presentan en la infancia en forma de distrés respiratorio. En niños mayores y adultos la forma de presentación es como sepsis respiratoria recurrente y con frecuencia cursan de forma asintomática, los que son diagnosticados a través de un hallazgo en una radiografía de tórax. Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico de quiste broncogénico, infrecuente en la edad adulta Presentación: Paciente de 55 años con antecedentes de enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica, hipertensión arterial y diabetes mellitus tipo II, remitida del área de salud al Hospital General “Camilo Cienfuegos” de Sancti Spiritus por cuadros de sepsis respiratoria recurrentes, asociados a disnea, tos húmeda y dolor torácico. En los estudios radiológicos se constató radiopacidad en parénquima pulmonar derecho, imagen sugestiva de quiste broncogénico. Se indicó tratamiento médico, se difirió el proceder quirúrgico por clasificarse como paciente de alto riesgo por sus antecedentes patológicos. Lo novedoso del caso es lo infrecuente del diagnóstico en pacientes adultos. Conclusiones: Los quistes broncogénicos son infrecuentes diagnosticarlos en edad adulta, pueden permanecer asintomáticos o complicarse en cualquier momento de su evolución con neumonías recurrentes o sepsis respiratorias más graves. Siempre se puede definir el diagnóstico en estos casos después de descartar la presencia de una neoplasia de pulmón, no siempre es posible la resección quirúrgica.

Background: The bronchogenic cysts constitute 10% of the mediastinum masses in children. They are presented in the childhood in form of breathing distress. In bigger children and adults the presentation form is as a recurrent breathing sepsis and frequently happen in an asymptomatic way, which are diagnosed through the discovery in a thorax x-ray. Objective: To describe a clinical case of bronchogenic cyst, uncommon in mature ages. Presentation: A 55 years old patient with antecedents of chronicle obstructive lung illness, arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus type II, remitted by the area of health to the General Hospital "Camilo Cienfuegos" of Sancti Spiritus for recurrent clinical manifestations of breathing sepsis, associated to dyspnea, humid cough and thoracic pain. In the radiological studies radiopacity was verified in right lung parenchyma, suggestive image of bronchogenic cysts. Medical treatment was indicated, it was differed for surgical proceeding to be classified as patient of high risk by its pathological antecedents. The novelty of the case is the uncommon of the diagnosis in mature patients. Conclusions: The bronchogenic cysts are uncommon to diagnose them in mature ages, they can remain asymptomatic or to get complicated in any moment of their evolution with recurrent pneumonias or more serious breathing sepsis. It can always be defined the diagnosis in these cases after discarding the presence of a lung neoplasia, it is not always possible the surgical resection.

Analysis of clinical features of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst / 中华外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the clinical features of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 6 cases with retroperitoneal brochogenic cyst treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 1996 to October 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical manifestation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the patients, 1 was male and 5 were female aging from 31 to 50 years with a mean age of 38.3 years. Three cases were diagnosed from physical examination, 2 cases from upper abdominal pain and 1 case from left flank pain. The cysts located in the left adrenal region, between the liver and the pancreas, and anterior aspect of the tail of the pancreas were seen in 4 cases, 1 case and 1 case, respectively. The major diameter was from 5 cm to 13 cm, and the mean major diameter was 7 cm. Ultrasonography and CT scan could reveal cystic, cystic-solid or solid masses. Color doppler flow imaging showed no obvious blood flow, and contrast-enhanced CT scans showed no enhancement or no obvious enhancement. Six cases were all misdiagnosed preoperatively. They all underwent operations via retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection for 3 cases, laparotomy for 2 cases and open flank resection for 1 case respectively. The pathological diagnoses were all bronchogenic cysts. Three symptomatic patients became asymptomatic after operations. Five patients had been followed up. During the follow-up of 2 months to 15 years, no recurrence had been found with CT scan.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst is rare and easily misdiagnosed. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a retroperitoneal mass. Most cysts are positioned in the left adrenal region and adjacent regions. Some cysts demonstrate soft tissue characteristics in image. After surgical removal, the patients have a good prognosis.</p>

An Unusual Presentation of Schwannoma in the Interatrial Space

We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who was diagnosed with intracardiac schwannoma without symptoms. Preoperative echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass attached to the interatrial septum. The initial diagnosis was a myxoma or a bronchogenic cyst. The tumor was successfully excised under cardiopulmonary bypass. However, the pathology of the excised tumor was consistent with schwannoma. We suggest that cardiovascular surgeons consider schwannoma to be a possible differential diagnosis for a mass close to the interatrial septum.

Prevalence of metabolic components in university students / Prevalência de componentes metabólicos em universitários / Prevalencia de componentes metabólicos en universitarios

OBJECTIVE: to identify the frequency of components of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) among university students. METHOD: descriptive study with 550 students, from various courses run by a public university. The socioeconomic data, lifestyle, and components of MetS were filled out using a questionnaire. Blood sample collection was undertaken in the university itself by a contracted clinical analysis laboratory. RESULTS: 66.2% were female, with a mean age of 22.6±4.41; 71.7% were sedentary; 1.8% stated that they smoke; and 48.5% were classified as at medium risk for alcoholism. 5.8% had raised abdominal circumference and 20.4% had excess weight; 1.3% and 18.9% had raised fasting blood glucose levels and triglycerides, respectively; 64.5% had low HDL cholesterol and 8.7% had blood pressure levels compatible with borderline high blood pressure. Thus, of the sample, 64.4% had at least one component for MetS; 11.6% had two, and 3.5% had three or more. CONCLUSION: a significant proportion of the population already has the components for metabolic syndrome, and this profile reinforces the importance of early diagnosis so as to reduce the risk of developing chronic comorbidities. .

Cervical bronchogenic cysts mimic metastatic lymph nodes during thyroid cancer surgery

PURPOSE: Although congenital bronchogenic cysts in the cervical region, especially in the thyroid or perithyroidal area, are rare, distinguishing them from other cervical cystic lesions (e.g., thyroglossal duct and branchial cleft cysts) and metastatic cervical lymph nodes is difficult preoperatively. Additionally, cystic degeneration of metastatic lymph nodes is common in patients with thyroid cancer. We investigated the clinical characteristics and proper treatment for individuals with cervical bronchogenic cysts. METHODS: Of the 18,900 patients treated for thyroid cancer, 18 patients with pathologically confirmed bronchogenic cysts were retrospectively reviewed. Bilateral total thyroidectomy or less than total thyroidectomy with central compartment node dissection, including cystic mass excision was done and cystic mass was confirmed by postoperative pathologic examination. RESULTS: All cervical bronchogenic cysts were asymptomatic. Their mean size was 1.2 cm (range, 0.3 to 3 cm). Of these 18 patients, 15 did not have any abnormal radiological findings, except for lymphadenopathy during preoperative evaluations. Most bronchogenic cysts were detected around the thyroid and paratracheal areas. On preoperative imaging and intraoperatively, most were indistinguishable from metastatic cervical lymph nodes or other cystic lesions. CONCLUSION: Although cervical bronchogenic cysts are rare and benign, they should be distinguished from other cystic cervical masses, especially metastatic cervical lymph nodes associated with thyroid cancer. Possible cervical bronchogenic cysts found during thyroid cancer evaluation or surgery should be surgically excised.

Non-infected and Infected Bronchogenic Cyst: The Correlation of Image Findings with Cyst Content / 결핵및호흡기질환

We hereby report a case on bronchogenic cyst which is initially non-infected, then becomes infected after bronchoscopic ultrasound (US)-guided transesophageal fine-needle aspiration (FNA). The non-infected bronchogenic cyst appears to be filled with relatively echogenic materials on US, and the aspirate is a whitish jelly-like fluid. Upon contrast-enhanced MRI of the infected bronchogenic cyst, a T1-weighted image shows low signal intensity and a T2-weighted image shows high signal intensity, with no enhancements of the cyst contents, but enhancements of the thickened cystic wall. The patient then undergo video-assisted thoracic surgery 14 days after the FNA. The cystic mass is known to be completely removed, and the aspirate is yellowish and purulent. To understand the image findings that pertain to the gross appearance of the cyst contents will help to diagnose bronchogenic cysts in the future.

A Case of Bronchogenic Cyst in the Retropharyngeal Space / 대한이비인후과학회지

The bronchogenic cyst is an uncommon benign congenital anomaly of the primitive ventral foregut. They usually occur in the mediastinum and intrapulmonary regions. Localization in the cervical area is unusual and the majority of cases reported have been found in the pediatric population. Radiologically, it can not be differentiated from other cystic lesions. Therefore, it is pa-thologically confirmed only when there are bronchial tissues such as pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, smooth muscle, mucous gland or cartilage. Since this cyst has potential for complication, a complete excision is mandatory. We recently experienced a case of retropharyngeal bronchogenic cyst presenting as a lump sensation in 32-year-old male. In this article, we reviewed the etiology, the diagnosis, and the treatment of this case with a review of the literatures.

[Congenital pulmonary malformations: clinical, radiological and treatment features]

Congenital broncho-pulmonary malformations [CBM] are rare, essentially presented by congenital lobar emphysema, bronchogenic cysts, pulmonary sequestrations and cystic adenomatoid malformations. The diagnosis can be in prenatal. In postnatal, symptoms are variable. Radiological investigations lead to diagnosis in all cases. To study the principal clinic, radiologic and therapeutic of the congenital broncho-pulmonary malformations through ten cases. Retrospective study of 10 cases of congenital bronchopulmonary malformations diagnosed between 2003 and 2010 in our institution. The mean ages at the time of diagnosis is 2months [4 days to 16months]. The sex ratio is 1. The symptoms consisted of recurrent pneumonia in 4cases, respiratory distress in 2cases, bronchiolite in 2 cases and 2cases of antenatal diagnosis. All patients have a chest X-ray, night patients have a chest computerized tomography and one patient has a bronchial endoscopy. Ten cases of BPM have been investigated: five congenitals lobar emphysema, tow pulmonary sequestrations, tow cystic ad‚nomatoid malformation and one bronchogenic cyst. Eight patients required surgical treatment involving pneumonectomy [1case], lobectomy [5 cases], segmentectomy [1 case] and in 1 case the pulmonary sequestration was treated by ligature of the anomalous artery with pulmonary resection. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis in all cases. The postoperative period was uneventful in 8 cases with a mean of follow-up of 2 years [5 months to 5years]. Tow patient died after surgical treatment. The diagnosis of BPM malformations can be clinical, confirmed by radiological investigations. The improvement in prenatal ultrasound diagnosis modified the management strategy. The treatment varies frome attitude conservatrice to pneumonectomy
