AI Article Synopsis

  • Bronchogenic cysts (BC) are rare congenital anomalies in the bronchial tree, and cases occurring in the mouth are extremely uncommon.
  • A case is reported of a 2-year-old boy who had a symptomatic cyst at the floor of the mouth, along with ankyloglossia, which is a condition where the tongue is tethered to the floor of the mouth.
  • Surgery under general anesthesia successfully removed the cyst with minimal leakage, and a sclerosing agent was used to prevent recurrence; findings confirmed the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst, and the child had no postoperative complications or recurrence after one year.

Article Abstract

Bronchogenic cyst (BC), cyst lined by respiratory epithelium, is uncommon congenital anomaly of bronchial tree. Intraoral BC is extremely rare lesions. Here, we report the unusual presentation of 2-year-old boy with symptomatic cystic lesion at floor of month combined with ankyloglossia. The operation was performed under general anesthesia. Frenotomy was performed. Complete cystic removal was successful with minimal leakage of cyst wall. Sclerosing agent was injected at surgical site to prevent the residual undetected cystic malformation. Pathological examination was demonstrated a unicystic lesion lined by ciliated pseudostratified columnar and cuboidal cells. The final diagnosis was bronchogenic cyst. No postoperative complication was found. The long-term course was uneventful with no signs of recurrence at 1 year. To our best knowledge, a rare example of BC at the floor of mouth combined with ankyloglossia has never been reported.

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.

Posterior mediastinal Mullerian cyst is rare. Due to its special location, it is easy to be misdiagnosed clinically, imaging and pathologically. Imaging is often misdiagnosed as a bronchial cyst or neurogenic tumor.

A 6-month-old child with stridor from 3 months of age presented with interim worsening following a respiratory infection. Airway evaluation revealed a smooth, polypoidal mass herniating in and out of the airway with each respiratory cycle, from the anterior surface of the upper trachea. Computerized tomography showed a non-enhancing cystic mass in anterior neck protruding into the upper trachea through an anterior tracheal defect.
