Pedunculated bronchogenic cyst mimicking pleural lesion

We report a rare case of a bronchogenic cyst presenting as a pleural nodule. CT and MRI demonstrated a well circumscribed, homogeneous lesion located on the pleural surface apart from the mediastinum. It was proven to be a bronchogenic cyst localized between the parietal and visceral pleurae and connected with the mediastinum only through fibrous tissue. Radiologists should be aware that a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst may be located apart from the mediastinum.
