A case of bronchogenic cyst of the neck with tracheal fistula

Abstract

We present the case of a 34-year-old male who developed a bronchogenic cyst in the right side of the neck due to frequent infection. Drainage or antibiotic treatment failed to prevent recurrent infection. He was referred to our hospital for examination. Preoperative examination revealed fistula to the trachea, and we strongly suspected a cervical bronchogenic cyst. Surgery and histopathological evaluation confirmed the presence of the bronchogenic cyst. There was no evidence of recurrence for 2 years. Cervical bronchogenic cyst with tracheal fistula has been rarely reported.
