Bronchogenic cysts are the most common cystic masses in the mediastinum. They are generally asymptomatic and are detected incidentally on chest radiographs as a smooth homogeneous mediastinal/pulmonary opacity. Intrapleural, intraesophageal, and pericardial rupture of these cysts have been commonly reported. We report a case of life-threatening intrabronchial rupture of a subcarinal bronchogenic cyst successfully treated by an emergency thoracotomy deroofing.

Throughout pregnancy, hydatid cysts may enlarge due to the suppression of cellular immunity and steroids secreted from the placenta. In late pregnancy, the cysts can reach a huge volume with an increased risk for subsequent rupture due to the compression of the enlarging uterus and anaphylactic shock.
