Lipoma-Like Bronchogenic Cyst in the Right Chest Sidewall: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Bronchogenic cyst most commonly occurs in the mediastinum, followed by the lung. We admitted a 59-year female patient with bronchogenic cyst being uniquely located on the right chest wall of the parietal pleura. Preoperative CT scan showed a local low-density lesion on the right chest wall. The lesion was removed by the thoracoscopic surgery. During the surgical resection, the lesion was observed to be located on the right chest wall. The lesion was surrounded by adipose tissue and covered with entire parietal pleura, which looks like lipoma. Pathological examination demonstrated that the lesion was bronchogenic cyst. In addition, previously reported cases of bronchogenic cyst were reviewed, and the relevant clinical knowledge was discussed.
