측경부 종괴로 표현된 기관지원성 낭종 1례

Abstract

A bronchogenic cyst is an uncommon benign congenital anomaly of the primitive ventral forgut which was generally encountered within the mediastinum and detected in pediatric patients. It is rarely detected in adult population as a lateral neck mass. We have recently experienced one case of bronchogenic cyst as a left lateral neck mass in a 49-year-old male. He complaints of a $2{\times}1$ cm sized, soft, non tender, and movable mass on the low lateral neck. The surgical excision of mass was performed and the final histopathologic diagnosis was a bronchogenic cyst. Here, we report this case with the review of literatures.
