RESUMEN
Bronchogenic cyst is a congenital anomaly of the primitive foregut. Unusual occurrences in extrathoracic sites have been described in the literature, some of which may clinically simulate neoplasms. We report three additional cases arising near the left adrenal gland, left ovary and gastric wall. Pathological findings are discussed, together with a review of the literature.

We report the case of a 70-year-old man with symptoms of urinary obstruction and haematuria, with histological diagnosis of primary signet-ring cell carcinoma of the prostate. Almost 90% of the tumour cells contained characteristic intracytoplasmic vacuoles that positively stained with diastase-digested PAS, Alcian blue and mucicarmine. The positive immunostaining for PSA and PSAP confirmed the prostatic origin of the tumour. Although the patient received hormonal therapy, the disease progressed and the patient died 11 months after surgery.
