Abstract
We report a case of suprasternal subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst (SBC) in a 1-year-old boy. A suprasternal mass was noticed in the boy since he was a neonate. Infection occurred at the age of 1 year and 8 months, and drainage was performed. After the remission of infection, cyst resection was performed. The cyst was excised at the upper episternum. There was neither adhesion to bone nor fistula. On the basis of histopathologic analysis, we diagnosed it as SBC. Bronchogenic cyst (BC) usually occurs at the mediastinum, and SBC is rare. For the treatment of SBC, early resection is recommended, taking into account the high risk of infection.
