Bronchogenic cyst presenting as a nodular lesion.
We report a subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst in a 7-year-old girl with unusual presentation as a nodular lesion. The cyst was excised and no connection with deeper structures was found. Histologic examination showed the typical features of a bronchogenic cyst. The characteristic clinical and histologic features of bronchogenic cysts are reviewed. The problems of differential diagnosis are also discussed.
