Congenital lung malformations (CLMs) are rare developmental anomalies of the lung, including congenital pulmonary airway malformations, bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS), congenital lobar overinflation, bronchogenic cyst, and isolated congenital bronchial atresia. CLMs occur in 4 out of 10,000 live births. BPS can be intralobar or extralobar sequestration.

Choristomas are rare, benign embryonic tumors characterized by normal tissue appearing in abnormal sites. When lined with respiratory epithelium, they are classified as bronchogenic cysts. While these cysts most commonly occur in the mediastinum or other thoracic regions, their occurrence on the tongue is exceedingly rare.

Introduction: The patient showed an uneventful recovery post-surgery, underscoring the significance of early intervention in managing rare congenital anomalies. Bronchogenic cysts constitute 13-15 % of congenital cystic lung diseases and 6 % of childhood mediastinal masses. Arising from abnormal foregut development during embryogenesis, these cysts can be asymptomatic or cause serious complications, such as airway or vascular compression.

Introduction: Bronchogenic cysts, arising from an aberrant bronchial primordium inclusion during the fetal period, are typically located in the mediastinum but can develop in ectopic regions. While generally asymptomatic, these cysts may become symptomatic due to infection or, rarely, hemorrhage. This report details a case of a hemorrhagic bronchogenic cyst in the supradiaphragmatic region, successfully resected using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) with a confronting upside-down monitor setting.

Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital cystic lesions. Their occurrence in the anterior mediastinum as intrathymic bronchogenic cyst is extremely uncommon. These cysts present as mediastinal masses, and are generally asymptomatic and often diagnosed incidentally.
