Cervical bronchogenic cyst mimicking thyroid adenoma.
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations of the foregut which are generally encountered within the mediastinum. We explored a patient presenting with a cystic, partially calcified tumor in a cervical and retrotracheal location. This lesion was interpreted as a thyroid adenoma preoperatively, but identified as a bronchogenic cyst at pathology.
