Rare presentation of bronchogenic cyst: A case report

Introduction: Bronchogenic cyst is an accidentally detected mediastinal mass which is usually asymptomatic in most of the cases. The bronchogenic cyst appears to be a well-defined, nonenhancing cystic mass with peripheral calcification and presence of milk of calcium in some cases. It may be said congenital if it detected in very early age group. Case Report: A case of congenital bronchogenic cyst was incidentally detected by computed tomography scan in a 2 month-old female child presenting with abdominal distension and refusal to feed. Conclusion: The case is reported here to give an emphasis on its formation, rare presentation and mode of treatment accordingly due to its so hazardous position in the mediastinum.
