Abstract
We report a case of bronchogenic cyst with dextrocardia. A 55-year-old male visited our hospital with a complaint of right parotid gland tumor. Dextrocardia had previously been detected. A cytic mass in the upper mediastinum was incidentally found at the time of computed tomography examination, but the patient did not complain of any symptoms.
Operations for the parotid gland tumor and the mediastinal mass were performed and the cystic mass in the upper mediastinum was removed without any complications. At the time of closure of the wound, an ectopic cartilage mass was found in the cervical subcutis and removed. Histopathological examination identified the parotid gland tumor as Warthin's tumor and the cystic mass as a bronchogenic cyst.
