    Abstract:
    Lesions occur in hepatogastric gap is common, but most of these lesions are from stomach, lower esophagus and pancreas lesions extending or transferring to the gap. Lesions occurred in the hepatogastric ligament are rare, especially bronchogenic cysts in the hepatogastric ligament. So far, there were no relevant cases reported. Here, we report a case of bronchogenic cyst in the hepatogastric ligament that masquerading as an esophageal mesenchymal tumor. A 24-year-old young man presented with abdominal bloating was diagnosed as esophageal mesenchymal tumor in previous hospital by gastroscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and computed tomography (CT) examination. For the sake of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), the man was transferred to our hospital. During surgery, we found no lesions in lower esophagus, but external pressure ridge lesions in the distal esophagus right side wall. Then laparoscopic surgery and pathology confirmed as bronchogenic cyst in the hepatogastric ligament. We report what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of a bronchogenic cyst in the hepatogastric ligament masquerading as an esophageal mesenchymal tumor.
