Abstract: | A 15-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with an abnormal chest X-ray shadow in the left posterior mediastinum found at health screening. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested that the cystic lesion contained a viscous liquid. The lesion was removed using a thoracoscope and diagnosed as bronchogenic cyst. Postoperative pathological evaluation was consistent with the initial diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst. This case illustrates the usefulness of thoracoscopic surgery for diagnosis and extirpation of bronchogenic cyst. |
