Subcutaneous bronchogenic anomalies

P Søhoel, P Blom, I W Mair

The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology

|January 1, 1980

Summary

Two congenital anomalies in the suprasternal notch, a cyst and a sinus, were identified. Histology confirmed subcutaneous bronchogenic cysts, distinct from deeper structures.

Area of Science:

Anatomy
Embryology
Pathology

Background:

Congenital anomalies in the suprasternal notch are rare.
Understanding their embryological origin is crucial for diagnosis.

Observation:

Two cases of congenital anomalies presented in the suprasternal notch.
One anomaly was a cyst, and the other was a sinus.

Findings:

Surgical exploration revealed no communication with deeper anatomical structures.
Histological examination confirmed the lesions as subcutaneous bronchogenic cysts.
These findings align with existing literature on similar lesions.

Implications:

Distinguishing these cysts from branchial fistulas is important for accurate diagnosis.
Further research into the embryogenesis of suprasternal anomalies may be warranted.
