Abstract:
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.
