Abstract:
A bronchogenic cyst (BC) is a rare congenital cystic lesion, especially when located in the suprahyoid region of the anterior cervical front. We report a case of a male child who was misdiagnosed with a thyroglossal duct cyst due to the clinical presentation of a mass located near the anterior midline of the neck, in the region above the hyoid bone, which moved up and down with swallowing, characteristics consistent with a thyroglossal duct cyst. We excised the lesion under general anesthesia. Histopathological analysis revealed cartilage tissue, pseudostratified columnar epithelium of the cyst wall with cilia and mucous glands, finally diagnosing it as BC. BC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck masses.
