A large bronchogenic cyst mimicked gastroesophageal reflux disease for six years in an adult patient. Surgical removal of the cyst resolved the patient's retrosternal pain and dysphagia, confirming the cyst as the cause.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition often presenting with retrosternal pain and dysphagia.
  • Atypical presentations of GERD can lead to diagnostic delays.

Observation:

  • An adult patient presented with a 6-year history of retrosternal pain and progressive dysphagia, initially diagnosed as GERD.
  • Detailed patient history revealed severe, constricting retrosternal pain and non-progressive dysphagia.

Findings:

  • Cineradiography of the esophagus and CT scan of the chest identified a large bronchogenic cyst.
  • The cyst was found to be compressing the esophagus and trachea, causing the patient's symptoms.

Implications:

  • Bronchogenic cysts can present with symptoms mimicking common gastrointestinal disorders like GERD.
  • Accurate diagnosis through advanced imaging is crucial for identifying rare causes of chest and swallowing symptoms.
  • Surgical excision of compressing bronchogenic cysts can lead to complete symptom resolution.
