Abstract

PEREZ-ALONSO, Alejandro J. et al. Gastric bronchogenic cyst: a singular presentation. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.1, pp.75-78. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.101.

Bronchogenic cysts are cystic formations originated by a tracheobronchial axis developmental anomaly during embryogenesis from the ventral wall of the anterior intestine. A bronchogenic cyst is defined as an ectopic pulmonary bud with most frequent location in the carina, intraparenchymal and mediastinal, presenting atypical and less common locations such as the cervical, supraclavicular, esophageal, retroperitoneal, and cutaneous regions. We present the case of a young woman, who consults the emergency department with abdominal pain, who is subjected to multiple tests being diagnosed as gastric bronchogenic cyst.

Keywords : bronchogenic cyst; stomach; diagnosis, differential; computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; laparotomy.
