    Abstract:
    A 50-year-old man developed a bronchogenic cyst complicated by hemorrhage. A complete radiographic chest work-up provided a reliable diagnostic approach. Bronchogenic cysts are usually asymptomatic incidental discoveries. Chest ultrasonography confirms the cystic nature of the mediastinal mass. Computed tomography scan and especially magnetic resonance imaging further support the diagnosis and are helpful for guiding surgery. Surgery is required because of the unpredictable risk of hemorrhage, infection or enlargement.
