Recurrent bronchogenic cysts are rare but can occur years after initial surgery. This case highlights the importance of complete cyst resection and long-term patient follow-up to prevent recurrence.

Area of Science:

Thoracic surgery
Surgical oncology

Background:

Mediastinal bronchogenic cysts are rare benign tumors, accounting for approximately 5% of mediastinal tumors in Japan.
Recurrence of these benign tumors is exceptionally uncommon, with only two prior reported cases.

Observation:

A 56-year-old male presented with an abnormal shadow on chest roentgenogram, with no associated symptoms.
Imaging studies including Chest X-ray, CT, and MRI revealed a paratracheal cystic mass.
The patient had a history of bronchogenic cyst resection 14 years prior to this presentation.

Findings:

Histopathological examination confirmed the recurrent mass as a bronchogenic cyst, characterized by a thin wall and ciliated epithelium.
The most probable cause for recurrence was identified as incomplete resection during the initial surgical procedure.

Even minimal residual epithelial tissue may be sufficient for a bronchogenic cyst to recur.

Implications:

Complete surgical resection of mediastinal bronchogenic cysts is crucial for preventing recurrence.
Long-term surveillance and follow-up are essential for early detection of potential recurrences.
