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 bronchogenic cyst is an uncommon benign congenital anomaly of the primitive ventral forgut which was generally encountered within the mediastinum and detected in pediatric patients. It is rarely detected in adult population as a lateral neck mass. We have recently experienced one case of bronchogenic cyst as a left lateral neck mass in a 49-year-old male. He complaints of a $2{\times}1$ cm sized, soft, non tender, and movable mass on the low lateral neck. The surgical excision of mass was performed and the final histopathologic diagnosis was a bronchogenic cyst. Here, we report this case with the review of literatures.

Bronchogenic cysts, though known as a relatively common malformation of the mediastinum, were rarely discussed in Korean literatures. Since the surgical removal of asymptomatic lesions was adopted as the reasonable therapeutic principle, the incidence of bronchogenic cysts were found to be higher than previously expected. Two cases of bronchogenic cysts operated on in The Dept. of Thoracic Surgery, Korea University Woo Sok Hospital were reported and related literatures were reviewed. Case 1. 5 year old boy with chief complaints of bulging cystic mass on left supraclavicular region during straining or coughing since his age of 2 was admitted, and cystogram with Lipiodol revealed hen-egg sized mass in the left antero-superior mediastinum without any communication with bronchus or esophagus. Cyst was successfully removed under general anesthesia thru left supraclavicular incision, and pathological examination of the cyst revealed thin cystic wall lined with stratified columnar epithelium and it`s content was milky white mucoid fluid devoid of any bacterial growth. Case 2. 15 year old school girl has been noted slowly growing walnut-sized mass on anterolateral side of the neck for 4 months without any subjective symptom except cosmetic problem... Mass was aspirated to find milky white mucoid fluid in some loculation and yellowish turbid fluid in other part due to chronic infection. Cystic tumor was removed under local anesthesia, which was loculated in between the trachea and esophagus without any communication, and pathological diagnosis of the cyst was bronchogenic cyst with columnar epithelial cell lining with moderate chronic inflammatory cell infiltrations. Postoperative conditions of the two cases were all excellent with normal life.

Bronchogenic cyst and pericardial diverticulum are relatively infrequent respectively, but they have been detected more commonly with the increasing popularity of the routine and mass survey examination of the chest. A 31 year-old male was admitted for the evaluation of productive cough and two mass lesions in left side on the chest films and bronchogram. Exploratory thoractomy revealed pericardial diverticulum and bronchogenic cyst, which were confirmed by pathologic examination. We are willing to report this combined case which was treated uneventfully by left lower lobectomy and diverticulectomy.

저자들은 기관지 폐쇄와 기관지성 낭종을 동시에 가지는 매우 귀한 증례를 보고하는 바이다. 형태상 우상엽의 첨구역으로 가는 기관지가 우측 주기관지에서 직접 분지 하였다. 기관지성 낭종은 폐쇄된 구역 기관지와 서로 교통되어 있었으며 모두 점액으로 차 있었다. 이들의 원인은 잘 모르나 태생기 5∼6주 경에 발생하는 단일 인자에 의해서 두가지가 같이 발생하는 것으로 여겨진다.

A 19-month-old boy suffered from stridor and dysphagia. He was taking asthma medication for a few months, but symptoms did not improve. After admission, a chest CT showed a posterior mediastinal mass, which compressed the trachea and esophagus. The removed mass via open thoracotomy was a bronchogenic cyst on histopathology. Postoperatively, stridor and dysphagia disappeared. In case of persistent and refractory stridor or dysphagia in children, congenital lesions including bronchogenic cyst need to be ruled out.

Bronchogenic cysts were considered rare entities but many have recently been discovered in mass roentgenographic surveys of the chest and autopsy. Their origin were considered might be congenital or developing process. The treatment of bronchogenic cyst is surgical resection. Thirteen cases of bronchogenic cysts which were confirmed by pathologically, were operated in the Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Catholic Medical College and reported with related literature.

기관지성 낭종은 전장에서 기인한 기형 낭종의 일종으로 폐나 종격동에 존재한다. 일반적으로 식도 근육층에 존재하는 낭성 병변은 전장의 장성 기형이다. 저자들은 연하곤란과 속쓰림으로 내원한 젊은 남자에서 식도 점막하 종양을 절제하였다. 종양은 식도 근육 안에 함몰되어 있었으며 점막 손상 없이 제거하였다. 조직학적 검사상 이 병변은 기관지성 낭종으로 밝혀졌다.

We report a 54-year-old woman who presented with a well-defined, homogeneous, and non-enhancing mass in the retrobronchial region of the bronchus intermedius. The patient underwent endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for histological confirmation. Serous fluid was aspirated by EBUS-TBNA. Cytological examination identified an acellular smear with negative microbiological cultures. The patient was finally diagnosed with bronchogenic cysts by chest computed tomography (CT) and EBUS-TBNA findings. However, 1 week after EBUS-TBNA, the patient developed bronchogenic cyst rupture and pneumonia. Empirical antibiotics were administered, and pneumonia from the bronchogenic cyst rupture had resolved on follow-up chest CT. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pneumonia from bronchogenic cyst rupture after EBUS-TBNA.

환자는 19세 남자로 1주일 전부터 갑자기 발생한 우측 흉통과 어깨에 동통, 연하곤란을 호소하여 기관지성 낭종으로진단되었다. 종격동내시경을 이용하여 기관지성 낭종을 절제하고낭종의 하부는 기관과 유착이 심하여 완전히 절제하지 못하여 세포의 파괴를 위해 전기소작을 하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.
