    Abstract:
    A 78-year-old man was picked up by chest X-ray findings. His CT scan film showed a posterior mediasinal tumor shadow. Serum level of SCC antigen was high and thoracotomy revealed bronchogenic cyst with high production of SCC antigen. After resection of the cyst, his serum level of SCC was within normal range. It is proposed that the elevated serum level of SCC is due to chronic inflammation or structural feature of the cystic wall.
