Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Bronchogenic cysts are formed due to abnormal budding of bronchial tree. They are lined by respiratory epithelium. They are not air filled as they do not commonly communicate with the bronchial tree. They are filled with fluid containing proteins, blood products and calcium oxalate.

One third are located in the lung parenchyma and two third are located in the mediastinum. 40 to 50% of all congenital cysts in the thorax are bronchogenic cysts. On CT scans they appear as round mass with attenuation similar to soft tissue or water.

Symptoms arise only when the cyst compresses surrounding structures. Most cysts are asymptomatic.

We present a case of a young lady who presented with an incidentally detected cavitory lesion on routine health checkup. Bronchogenic cysts which are completely air filled are rare and need treatment if very large or causing symptoms.

Keywords: Bronchogenic cyst, respiratory epithelium, intra-parenchymal, intra- pulmonary.
