Cutaneous heterotopic bronchogenic tissue in the scapular area.
Cutaneous bronchogenic anomalies are very rare lesions, and most of them present as cysts and/or sinus tracts in the subcutaneous layer. We report a 15-year-old boy who presented with a crusted and papillomatous plaque over the right scapular region. Histopathological examination of this plaque revealed pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with papillary invaginations that included mucinous material. The lesion had no cyst or sinus formation and was bordered with smooth muscle bundles in stroma.
