Management of cervical bronchogenic cyst via minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy: a report of two cases.
Gland Surg
October 2024
Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Peking University People's Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital diseases, which are believed to occur through the separation of small diverticula buds from an abnormal budding process in the primitive foregut during the formation of the tracheobronchial tree. Ectopic types located in the thyroid region are extremely rare.
Case Description: In this study, we present two cases of cervical bronchogenic cysts identified during minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT).
Cystic cardiac myxoma: a rare variant of cardiac myxoma in a woman with acute stroke.
Egypt Heart J
October 2024
Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, 110029, India.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign tumors of the heart, typically appearing as oval masses on the interatrial septum and can cause embolic episodes that require urgent treatment.
- In a case study, a middle-aged woman experienced an acute ischemic stroke and was found to have a complex cystic mass in her left atrium, which was initially difficult to diagnose due to overlapping imaging characteristics with other conditions.
- Surgical removal of the cystic mass was performed to confirm it as a cardiac myxoma and to prevent serious complications like stroke and hemodynamic issues, marking it as a rare case of this tumor variant.

Respirology
August 2024
Pulmonology Department, Toulouse University Hospital, Toulouse, France.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the incidence and treatment of malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO) in patients with metastatic non-bronchogenic solid cancers (NBC), revealing that 18% of a large cohort experienced this complication.
- It identifies key prognostic factors influencing survival post-therapeutic bronchoscopy (TB), such as histology, performance status, and previous treatments.
- The findings suggest that TB effectively alleviates symptoms and prolongs survival for these patients, highlighting the need for timely referrals for bronchoscopic interventions.
An Unlikely Source of Iodine Uptake: A Bronchogenic Cyst Masquerading as Metastatic Thyroid Cancer.
JCEM Case Rep
March 2024
Endocrine Neoplasia, Endocrinology, University of Connecticut Health Center: UConn Health, Farmington, CT 06030, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Radioactive iodine therapy and posttreatment scans are crucial for managing differentiated thyroid carcinoma and detecting metastatic disease, with potential for false-positive results.
- - A case study of a 33-year-old woman revealed unexpected iodine uptake in her chest scan after treatment, which initially raised concerns about metastatic cancer.
- - Subsequent surgery confirmed the uptake was due to a bronchogenic cyst, and immunohistochemical testing showed the presence of sodium iodide symporters, supporting the theory that these cysts can absorb iodine.
