Abstract

Cystic lesions of the lung have been reported since the 17th century, but the first report in the American literature of a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst was by Mixter and Clifford in 1929.


Since this first report, several series have demonstrated that bronchogenic cyst are the most common mediastinal cyst, accounting for about 60% of the mediastinal masses and usually detected in adults. Most commonly, bronchial cyst located in the carina. Bronchial cysts are rare in antreior mediastinal. Typically, bronchial cysts have no symptoms, but when a large follicle size or infection usually create symptoms. 


Treated by complete surgical removal of cysts with surgical methods are defined by the location of the cyst.


We report two cases with anterior mediastinal bronchogenic cyst was diagnosed and treated at C Hospital Da Nang.


Surgery is the treatment of choice.


Analysis of histological specimens were removed showed microscopic surface lining of the respiratory epithelium head feathers, glands and smooth muscle. On the basis of histological signs of this, a mass is identified bronchogenic cysts.
