Abstract

Bronchogenic cyst is a congenital, benign lesion that forms during fetal development. The BC is usually associated with the airways, so it can appear anywhere in the airway, possibly in the mediastinum or lung parenchyma. Bronchial cysts account for 10% of mediastinal tumors; men encounter more than women. Clinical symptoms are often varied, non-specific, depending on the location, size of the lesion and the age of the patient. Surgery to remove the cyst is still the optimal, first choice for this lesion. After surgery, if there are no complications, the patient usually recovers completely. We report a case of bronchial cyst with complex lesion located in the mediastinum, which was examined and confirmed by transthoracic biopsy under CT guidance. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove the cyst, and after surgery, the patient had a normal life.
