Minimally invasive management of lesser sac bronchogenic cyst

Juliet L Fernández et al. JSLS. 2011 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

Bronchogenic cysts rarely develop in the abdomen they typically reside in the mediastinum. We present a unique case of a bronchogenic cyst within the lesser sac. Endoscopic ultrasound proved to be a critical diagnostic tool, and the patient underwent a laparoscopic resection of the lesion.
