Title: Long-term uninvestigated dysphagia due to bronchogenic cyst of the esophagus; A case report and review of literature
Abstract: We report a rare case of congenital foregut cysts (esophageal bronchogenic cyst) in a young woman with history of long term dysphagia. She presented with dysphagia and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed bulge submucosal lesion in the distal of the esophagus. Endoscopic ultrasound showed a 3×3 cm cystic lesion suggestive for esophageal duplication or bronchogenic cyst. Computed tomography of chest confirmed a cystic mass located in the same region. Thoracotomy was performed and the large cystic mass was seen between the mucosa and muscular layers of the esophagus, which was successfully resected. Pathological examination of the cyst revealed characteristic findings for esophageal bronchogenic cyst.
