Aim: Presentation of a rare localization of bronchogenic cyst in retroperitoneum.
Material: A case of a patient with retroperitoneal localization of a bronchogenic cyst with a prenatally diagnosed cystic formation. The surgery was indicated at the age of 6 owing to the progression of lesion. The histopathological examination of removed cyst revealed the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst. For four years following the surgery, the patient was clinically free of complications. The regularly performed ultrasound examinations of the abdomen have been showing normal findings.
Conclusion: Despite the fact that retroperitoneal localization of bronchial cyst is very rare it should be considered in differential diagnosis (Fig. 3, Ref. 16).

Background: Bronchial cysts (BCs) can be difficult to diagnose because of non-specific site of occurrence and heterogeneous density of cyst content in some patients. We present herein a BC case with such nonspecific findings.
Case: A 23-year-old man referred to our hospital because of an abnormal chest image during a mass-screening.

Intradural extramedullary bronchogenic cysts (IEBCs) are exceedingly rare congenital entities, composed of respiratory epithelial cells derived from the anomalous development of the embryonic foregut. Due to their exceptionally low morbidity, only limited cases are available. Consequently, the clinical features and optimal therapeutic approach remain poorly understood.

Localized cystic lung lesions in pediatric patients encompass a spectrum of benign and rare malignant conditions that are quite distinct from cystic lung disease arising in adulthood. The majority have historically fallen under the diagnostic category of "congenital pulmonary airway malformation," a term that has been used to denote a diverse group of diseases ranging in etiology from ectopia to bronchial atresia to mosaic oncogenic mutation or neoplasia. This article reviews the clinical characteristics, gross and histologic features, and pathogenetic underpinnings of congenital pulmonary airway malformation as well as lesions that enter its histologic differential diagnosis.

Introduction: Bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are congenital lesions from abnormal foregut development, usually located in the mediastinum or lungs. While often asymptomatic and benign, they can cause complications. Surgical excision is the definitive treatment.
