title: [Case report of congenital bronchial cyst in the subsuperior segment of the right lung].
abstract: A fifty-five-year-old man revealed abnormal shadow on chest X-P. Congenital Bronchial Cyst (CBC) is believed to be caused by the abnormal budding process during the early development of the foregut and after born result in formation of noninfected cysts in the lung. In this case, CBC was lined by columnarciliated epithelium and contained cartilages and bronchial mucous glands in their wall. They were located along the tracheobronchial tree and cystgraphy presented dumbbell-like change of cysts that were seen during the development stage. These findings support the past reports radiographically that CBC may result from occlusion of the proximal side of bronchus during the early development by unknown mechanism.
