  • Title: Infected bronchogenic cyst treated with drainage followed by resection.
    Author: Kawaguchi Y, Hanaoka J, Asakura S, Fujita T.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2014 Jul; 98(1):332-4. PubMed ID: 24996718.
    Abstract:
    Bronchogenic cysts originate from anomalous development of the ventral foregut. Although treatment of asymptomatic bronchogenic cysts remains controversial, symptomatic bronchogenic cysts should be surgically removed. We report a case of a 62-year-old man with an infected bronchogenic cyst. We drained the cyst using transesophageal endoscopic ultrasonography to control the inflammation and decrease the size of the cyst; we subsequently resected the cyst. Five months after resection, the patient was well, and computed tomography showed no evidence of cyst recurrence.
