Abstract

Bronchogenic cysts are usually located in the pulmonary parenchyma or mediastinum. When they are located in the mediastinum, they are usually near the bronchus or esophagus, but they are rarely at an intramural location of the esophagus. It is very difficult to differentiate between bronchogenic cyst and esophageal cyst before the operation. We report here on a patient for whom the preoperative diagnosis was supposed to be an esophageal cyst. The esophageal cyst was excised through the longitudinal division of the esophageal muscular layer without injury of the mucosa after right thoracotomy. The pathologic report revealed intramural bronchogenic cyst. We report here of a case of bronchogenic cyst that was located in the muscle layer of the lower esophagus.

기관지성 낭종은 일반적으로 폐실질 내 혹은 종격동 내에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 종격동 내에 위치하는 경우 기관지와 식도 부근에 위치하나 식도에 함몰되어 있는 경우는 매우 드물다. 수술 전에 기관지성 낭종과 식도 낭종을 구분하는 것은 매우 어려워 식도 양성 종양으로 의심하고 수술을 시행하게 된다. 저자들은 우연히 발견된 식도 내 종양이 수술 절제를 통해 기관지성 낭종으로 밝혀져 보고하는 바이다.
