Abstract
|
|
|
This is to report a case of bronchgenic cyst. While most of the Bronchogenic cysts reported in the literature so far were located either in the lung parechym or in the mediastinum near the tracheal bifurcation or main bronchi. the cyst presenting in this study was originated in the wall of the esophagus and was reported to be very rare,
The cystic tumor was found accidentealy by X-ray fluoroscopic examination of the esophagus and stomach in the patient with gastric hemorrhage. X-ray study revealed that the cystic tumor was oval in shape and located in the left posterolateral wall of the esophagus in the thoracal lower thiird.
Two surgical operations, gastrectomy for gastric hemorrhage and the resection of the cystic tumor, were carried out separately. Gastrectomy including the removal of prepyloric ulcer by the Billroth Ⅱ type procedure was performed in regular fashion, and the cystic tumor was resected radically without any injury of the mucous membrane of the esophagus.
The cyst removed appeared to be filled with mucinous material, and histological examination identified the tumor as a bronchogenic cyst with ciliated epithelial internal lining.
Postperative course of the patient was uneventful.
