A case of cervical bronchogenic cyst

Abstract

A rare case of a cervical bronchogenic cyst is reported. The patient, a 68-year-old female, showed cervical mass through CT findings. The mass was surgically resected. Histologically, the cyst consisted of ciliated columnar epithelium, smooth muscle, and cartilage, yielding a definitive diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst. In conclusion, congenital bronchogenic cysts may occur in the necks of adults, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cervical masses.
