[Bronchogenic cyst as a rare differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumor].
A retroperitoneal tumor originating from a bronchogenic cyst is an extreme rarity. We report the sixth case of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst in an asymptomatic 38-year-old man who was initially admitted to hospital due to elective herniotomy of a right-sided inguinal hernia. Excluding symptomatic hernia by preoperative, routine-ultrasound we detected left-sided adrenal tumor mass. Computerized tomography and inconspicuous hormone-analysis completed preoperative evaluation. A tumor with 3 cm in diameter above the left adrenal gland, partly solid, partly cystic could be removed by laparotomy incision without complications. Final pathology confirmed diagnosis of a bronchogenic, dysontogenic cyst. Although rare, these cysts should be considered in differential-diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumors.
