AI Article Synopsis
- - Bronchogenic cysts (BC) are special lumps that can form in the lungs and are made from a part of the air tube in our body that didn't grow normally.
- - These cysts can be found in different areas, but it's very rare for them to be located in the diaphragm, which is the muscle below our lungs.
- - In this story, a 19-month-old girl had a bronchogenic cyst near her diaphragm that looked like another kind of cyst but was successfully removed during surgery.
Article Abstract
Bronchogenic cyst (BC), which develops from abnormal budding of the tracheal diverticulum or ventral foregut, is a congenital bronchopulmonary malformation. Localization of the BC varies depending on the level of the abnormal budding. Thoracic or abdominal-sited diaphragmatic lesions are the rarest presentations of the BC. We present a case of BC that originated from the diaphragm and mimicking hydatid cyst of the liver in a 19-month-old girl. Diagnosis of a diaphragmatic lesion was confirmed during laparotomy and complete resection was successful.
