Overview

Bronchogenic cyst is a benign congenital malformation of the tracheobronchial tree derived from the ventral aspect of the foregut. It most frequently occurs in the middle mediastinum, in the early stages of gestation or in the lungs, at the later stages of gestation. Atypical locations may be explained by its embryologic origin. Patients with bronchogenic cyst may be asymptomatic or present with respiratory distress, increasing stridor, feeding difficulties, chest pain, cough, progressive dysphagia, odynophagia, purulent sputum, dyspnea, anorexia and/orweight loss. Radiologic findings are useful to differentiate bronchogenic cysts from other cysts but may they not always confirm the diagnosis. Diagnosis is confirmed by surgical excision, which is curative, and histological findings of ciliated columnar epithelial lining of the cyst.

Historical Perspective

Pathophysiology

It is thought that bronchogenic cyst is the result of abnormal budding of the ventral [6] portion of the primitive foregut[1][2][3]destined to become the tracheobronchial tree[7] between days 26 - 40 of gestation. [7] At such, it is always found in relation to the trachea or esophagus.[8] If the cell mass maintains its connection with the tracheobronchial tree, the cyst becomes intrapulmonary or in close association with the lungs. If separated, there is no contiunity with the bronchia lumen. Such cyst increases in size gradually due to secretions produced within the cavity, leading to compressive symptoms.[1][9]

Gross pathology

Bronchogenic cyst appear as single or multiple smooth spherical pink masses which may be unlobulated or lobulated. [7][1] The lobules could be of various sizes, communicating or noncommunicating. The wall is relatively thin and frequently trabeculated,[1] even though there may be thicker portions. It is lined by clilated columnar epithelium which secretes a thick, white mucoid material if uninfected, and a dirty brown mucoid to purulent material if infected.[1] Occassionally, secretions could be hemorrhagic or pneumatic.[2]

Histopathology

Bronchogenic cysts are usually lined by ciliated columnar epithelium of respiratory type, leading to distention as a result of secretions produced within the cavity. Cyst wall may be composed of cartilage, smooth muscle, fibrous tissue, chronic inflammatory infiltrates, necrotic tissue, focal areas of squamous metaplasia, vascular proliferation, bronchial gland, and mucous glands.[7] [1] [10] [3][11]

Causes

The cause of bronchogenic cysts is undetermined.

Differentiating Bronchogenic cyst from other Diseases

Bronchogenic cyst must be differentiated from lung abcess, thymic cyst, and esophageal duplication cysts

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

Prevalences

  • The prevalence of bronchogenic cyst is estimated at 1 per 42,000 and 1 per 68,000 admissions in two hospital series.[13]

Case fatality rate/mortality rate

Age

  • Bronchogenic cyst can be found in people of all age groups.[15]

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to bronchogenic cyst.

Gender

  • Bronchogenic cyst is slightly more prevalent in men and often remain undetected till the third or fourth decade of life.[16][11]

Risk Factors

There are no established risk factors for bronchogenic cyst.

Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for bronchogenic cyst as it is usually an incidental finding.

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

Natural History

The symptoms of bronchogenic cyst usually develop in the third to fourth decade of life and start with symptoms such as

Complication

Common complications of bronchogenic cyst include

Prognosis

Prognosis is generally good,[3] a Morbidity & Mortality rate of 20% has been recorded in older patients treated for bronchogenic cyst.[14]

Diagnosis

History and Symptoms

The majority of patients with bronchogenic cyst are asymptomatic and are diagnosed during investigation for other pathologies.[1][17][18]

When symptomatic, clinical presentation of bronchogenic cyst depends on the age of the patient, size and the location of the cyst.[1]

In infants bronchogenic cyst presents with [3][15]

In children and adults, bronchogenic cyst presents with

Physical Examination

  • Physical examination of patients with bronchogenic cyst is usually normal.

Laboratory Findings

  • Some patients with bronchogenic cyst may have elevated serum tumor marker CA125 and CA199, which is usually suggestive of progression/complication.[6]

Despite enhanced imaging modalities, a definitive diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst is challenging preoperatively.[6]

Chest X Ray

An x-ray with esophagography may be helpful in the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of bronchogenic cyst include:[15][2]

  • Well-defined anterior mediastinal mass with incomplete peripheral thin linear calcification.
  • Homogeneous non-calcified soft tissue density mass.
  • Round to oval opacity
  • Secondary excavation
  • Cavity with or without levels
  • Atelectasis
  • Hydropneumothorax

CT

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst. Findings on CT scan suggestive of bronchogenic cyst is an

The density of bronchogenic cysts is variable from water density to high density due to blood, anthracotic pigment, increased calcium content, or increased protein content of the fluid.[12][19]

MRI

  • MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst. Findings on MRI suggestive of bronchogenic cyst include
  • T1-weighted images show ipointense signal
  • T2-weighted images show hyperintense signal.

After contrast injection, enhancement of the cyst is frequently absent.[6][12][19]

Ultrasound

Other Diagnostic Studies

Other diagnostic studies for bronchogenic cyst include:

Treatment

Surgery

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for bronchogenic cyst even when the patients are asymptomatic,[17]conservative approach is not approved.[11] Surgery is imperative with symptoms such as [2]

Most commonly used approaches for complete excision of bronchogenic cysts are[6][17]

Other procedures include

  • Endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection[17][6]
  • Percutaneous catheter drainage or endoscopic ultrasonographic guided-fine needle aspiration[6] with sterile alcohol ablation has been used in selected high-risk patients, especially adults, but has no place in pediatric therapeutics.[3]
  • video-assisted thorascopic surgery[6]
  • Robotic resection

Complete surgical resection is curative.[3][18] Risk during surgery is usually low, complications include but are not limited to persistent air leak,[2] pulmonary and vascular compressions, vascular, pleural, tracheobronchial, pulmonary, mediastinal and diaphragmatic adhesions.[11]
