[Cutaneous bronchogenic cyst].
Bronchogenic cysts rarely affect the cutaneous surface, so they are difficult to diagnose clinically and are often confused with other types of cysts. We present the case of a young adult in whom a cystic lesion showing characteristics of a bronchogenic cyst was excised from the upper thorax area. We emphasize the fact that, in nearly all cases, the diagnosis of this pathology is made through a histopathological study, and we make special reference to the differential diagnoses.
