Abstract:
We report the case of a 37-year-old woman with a radiographically cystic lung lesion. Lobectomy was performed. Histopathologic examination showed a bronchioloalveolar carcinoma arising in a bronchogenic cyst. This suggests that epithelial cells of bronchogenic cysts can undergo malignant transformation. It may be prudent to recommend complete resection of any bronchogenic cyst.
