Diagnosis With Brief Discussion
- Diagnosis
- Bronchogenic Cyst
- Radiologic Findings
- Chest PA shows ovoid well defined mass in retrocardiac area. The mass is broadly based on mediastinum and silhouette sign positive with descending thoracic aorta. Findings are suggestive of posterior mediastinal mass.
Chest CT shows well defined, ovoid mass in the posterior mediastinum, compressing the adjacent esophagus. Mass shows homogeneously low density (26 HU).
On esophagogram, esophagus is compressed by the mass with preserving mucosa. Evidence of communication between the mass and esophagus is not seen.
The mass was excised. Pathologic examination revealed cystic mass line with respiratory epithelium, consistent with bronchogenic cyst.
