A case of an upper cervical bronchogenic cyst in an adult.
We herein report a case of a rare cervical cystic lesion, namely a congenital bronchogenic cyst, which presented as an asymptomatic upper cervical mass in a 22-year-old female. Although cervical bronchogenic cysts are rare lesions in adults which are very difficult to accurately diagnose preoperatively, they deserve inclusion in the differential diagnosis of cervical cystic lesions.
