Abstract:
Bronchogenic cyst results from abnormal bronchial budding. Thin-stalked mobile bronchogenic cysts are rare and sometimes radiologically mimic mass lesion, making preoperative diagnosis difficult. We present a 12-year-old boy with a preoperative diagnosis of intraparenchymal cystic lung lesion misled by radiology. We performed a mini-thoracotomy revealing a thin stalked mobile elongated cyst that arose from the right inferior pulmonary ligament, confirmed as a bronchogenic cyst in histopathology.
