[PMID: 38817216 PMCID: PMC11135439 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i15.2586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchogenic cysts are rare developmental anomalies that belong to the category of congenital enterogenous cysts. They arise from lung buds and are present at birth. The embryonic foregut is their origin. Typically, they are located within the chest cavity, particularly in the cavum mediastinale of the thoracic cavity or lodged in the pulmonary parenchyma, and are considered a type of lung bud malformation. CASE SUMMARY A 49-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital due to the detection of a retroperitoneal mass during a physical examination. Two weeks before admission, the patient underwent a physical examination and routine laboratory tests, which revealed a space-occupying mass in the retroperitoneal region. The patient did not report any symptoms (such as abdominal pain, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, high fever, or chills). The computed tomography (CT) revealed a retroperitoneal space-occupying lesion with minimal enhancement and a CT value of approximately 36 Hounsfield units. The lesion was not delineated from the boundary of the pancreatic body and was closely related to the retroperitoneum locally. CONCLUSION Following a series of tests, an abdominal mass was identified, prompting the implementation of a laparoscopic retroperitoneal mass excision procedure. During the investigation, an 8 cm × 7 cm cystic round-shaped mass with a distinct demarcation was identified in the upper posterior region of the pancreas. Subsequently, full resection of the mass was performed. Postoperative pathological examination reveled a cystic mass characterized by a smooth inner wall. The cystic mass was found to contain a white, viscous liquid within its capsule.

Abstract
Introduction Bronchogenic cyst is a congenital aberration of bronchopulmonary malformation with bronchial-type, pseudostratified cylindrical epithelium. They are usually discovered in the mediastinum and intrapulmonary but are rarely encountered in retroperitoneum. We report a case of the retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst and perform a literature review to summarize the safety of laparoscopic resection for this rare disease. Case presentation We report a 57-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with no clinical symptoms and was found by chance to have masses in the adrenal gland area during a routine physical examination. An abdominal CT examination revealed a cystic lesion was found in the left suprarenal region. Afterward, the patient underwent a laparoscopic exploration. Histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. The patient recovered uneventfully without signs of recurrence during a 1-year follow-up period. Conclusion Bronchogenic cyst is rare in the retroperitoneal region. It should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of a retroperitoneal neoplasm, especially in the left retroperitoneal region. Laparoscopic surgery is technically feasible and safe for the treatment of patients with a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst.

Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations caused by aberrant foregut budding. They major occur in the thorax, with subdiaphragmatic cases being uncommon. Here, we present a series of 19 patients diagnosed with subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts histopathologically at a single institution in China from 2012 to 2021. A literature review was also conducted by searching the PubMed database using keywords related to “bronchogenic cysts” and “subdiaphragmatic,” yielding 107 cases. Taken together, the 126 cases had a median age of 41.0 years (interquartile range, 30.0–51.0 years) and 62 of them were male (49.2%). The cysts were most commonly detected in the left adrenal region (36.2%), followed by the pancreatic region (11.5%) and gastric cardia/lesser curvature of the stomach (9.2%). All patients except two underwent surgery for a definite diagnosis, symptom alleviation, and (or) malignancy prevention. Most patients recovered fast and were discharged from the hospital within 1 week after surgery, and the surgical complications were infrequent. The prognosis was generally favorable, as no recurrence was reported during the follow-up as long as 77 months.

Abstract
Background Bronchogenic cyst is congenital aberration of bronchopulmonary malformation, which is rarely encountered in the abdomen and retroperitoneum. We present a case report and literature review of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. Case presentation A 53-year-old female presented to outpatient clinic for a routine checkup of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. She received a contrast computed tomography scan of the abdomen which revealed a retroperitoneal cystic lesion below the left crura of diaphragm. Afterward, the patient underwent a laparoscopic excision of the cystic lesion and was discharged uneventfully at postoperative day 4. Histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. Our literature review identified 55 adult cases in recent two decades. The average age at diagnosis was 43.2 (range 17–69) years. 44 (80%) cases had a retroperitoneal cyst on the left side, and 52 (94.5%) cases underwent curative excision through open or laparoscopic surgery. In the available follow up of cases, there was no recurrence after surgery. Conclusions Bronchogenic cyst is rare in the retroperitoneal region. It should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of a retroperitoneal neoplasm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are benign congenital foregut malformations that are mostly present in the mediastinum and pulmonary parenchyma but rarely seen in the retroperitoneum.
CASE SUMMARY We report the case of 17-year-old girl who complained of epigastric pain. A cystic lesion was found in the left suprarenal region on spectral computed tomography. The ovoid, well-defined, and homogeneous cystic lesion revealed slightly enhancement on conventional imaging but no enhancement on 40 KeV virtual mono-energetic images. The iodine density value of the lesion was 0.001 mg/mL and the Z-effective value was 7.25, which were close to those of fluid material in in vitro experiments. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass of intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging and high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging. A laparoscopic surgery was carried out. Intraoperatively, a cystic lesion with a smooth surface was found in the left retroperitoneum. And the cystic wall was completely resected after intracystic fluid was suctioned. The histopathological examination findings of the lesion were compatible with BC. The patient recovered uneventfully without sighs of recurrence during a 10-mo follow-up period.
CONCLUSION Radiological examinations play a significant role in the diagnosis of suprarenal BCs and spectral images offer additional spectral parameters. Accurate preoperative diagnoses of retroperitoneal BCs based on thorough imaging examinations are beneficial to the operation of laparoscopic resection.

Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts are among developmental disorders of the primitive foregut which are typically found above the diaphragm. Bronchial cysts discovered in the abdominal cavity or retroperitoneum are extremely rare. We present a rare case of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst which was incidentally detected after a wrestling injury in a 23-year-old man who had a negative medical history. Although initial imaging studies suggested an adrenal tumor, histopathological analysis provided a definite diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst. Though rare, bronchogenic cysts must be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal cystic lesions. This is the first case of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst reported in Iran.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report 10 cases of neoplasms that were initially thought to be primarily adrenal-derived masses but were later confirmed as tumors of a different origin. METHODS Between 2000 and 2011, a total of 229 patients underwent adrenalectomy at our institution. Of this overall group, 10 patients had retroperitoneal pathologic conditions mimicking adrenal tumors. Using an institutional review board-approved database, we reviewed the clinical, biochemical, and radiologic characteristics of these 10 patients. RESULTS The study cohort consisted of 4 male and 6 female patients. The mean age of these 10 patients was 48 years. The pathologic conditions included schwannoma (n = 3), leiomyosarcoma (n = 2), and 1 each of metastatic angiosarcoma, metastatic granulosa cell tumor, retroperitoneal hematoma, perivascular epithelioid cell tumor, and bronchogenic cyst. The patient with angiosarcoma had elevated plasma and urine catecholamines and a positive metaiodobenzylguanidine scan, whereas the others had normal findings on biochemical work-up. A percutaneous biopsy was performed preoperatively in 2 patients. All patients, except the patient with hematoma, underwent abdominal exploration, which was laparoscopic in 5, open in 2, and robotic in 2. With exclusion of the patients with angiosarcoma and hematoma, resection was possible in all the remaining patients. CONCLUSION In this report we describe our experience with retroperitoneal masses mimicking adrenal tumors. Increased awareness of these unusual pathologic conditions is important for appropriate clinical management of these tumors. The presentation of the patients and the surgical management of these individual pathologic entities are highlighted.

Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts are mostly benign, congenital abnormalities originating from the remnants of the primitive foregut. A retroperitoneal location is rare. Due to the mostly asymptomatic behavior and the historical confusion regarding histology, an exact prevalence is not known. We present here a case report of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. A literature review was performed for cases of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts written in English. Anatomopathological criteria for inclusion were pseudo stratified, ciliated, columnar epithelium together with the presence of at least one of the following: cartilage, smooth muscle or seromucous glands. In addition, the embryology, pathogenesis, radiological, clinical and suggested treatment modalities are reviewed. We report the surgical excision of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst that presented as a non-functioning left adrenal mass. Our review of literature revealed only 62 potential cases of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts. After applying the strict anatomopathological criteria, only 30 cases of true retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts could be identified. Retroperitoneal location of a bronchogenic cyst is rare. Despite the rarity of this pathologic entity, bronchogenic cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal cystic lesions. Only histology can confirm definitive diagnosis. Surgery remains the recommended treatment of choice.

Abstract
Although bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are benign congenital malformations usually occur in thoracic cavity, retroperitoneal location is extremely uncommon. We reported a case of BC occurred in the retroperitoneum, which was excised laparoscopically. A 64-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to the hospital because of submucosal tumor in the upper part of the stomach. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor located just distal to the esophagogastric junction. The abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a cystic mass located in contact with lesser curvature of the stomach and the dorsal surface of the liver. As the cystic mass was well-circumscribed and showed no positive findings suggestive of malignancy, the laparoscopic excision of the cystic mass was performed. The cystic tumor was completely excised with a laparoscopic procedure. The histologic findings indicated that the cyst was surfaced by the ciliated pseudostratified epithelium without the presence of the cartilage, which was compatible with the BC of the retroperitoneum. This case highlights the safety and the feasibility of complete laparoscopic excision of retroperitoneal BC. Laparoscopic excision of retroperitoneal BC definitely provides all advantages of minimally invasive procedure, which improves postoperative patient discomfort and pain and shortens hospital stay. Laparoscopic procedure may definitely be a standard approach for the excision of retroperitoneal BC.

Abstract
The diagnosis of primary retroperitoneal cystic tumors is very infrequent in surgical pathology. We report the case of a 51-year-old woman presenting with an incidental left-sided retroperitoneal mass (32 x 24 mm in diameter) suspected of being an adrenal tumor. Intraoperatively the tumor was identified as a cystic lesion filled with mucous secretion and laparoscopically completely resected. The diagnosis was histopathologically confirmed as a bronchogenic cyst. In this article the laparoscopic removal of such a rare benign congenital aberration resulting from an abnormal budding of the tracheobronchial tree is presented.
