Abstract

Antecedentes: Los quistes broncogénicos esofágicos son sacos cerrados originados de brotes anormales del tubo -traqueobronquial primitivo. Estas lesiones suelen ser asintomáticas, por lo que pueden hallarse incidentalmente o pueden causar síntomas por compresión de estructuras adyacentes. Son lesiones muy poco comunes; se han publicado unos 23 casos en adultos.

Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 44 años con un cuadro de tos de larga duración, sin otro síntoma. Para descartar las causas más comunes de sus síntomas se realizan estudios que objetivan la presencia de una lesión intramural de 40 × 43 mm. Se realiza videotoracoscopia para su resección y estudio, resultando ser un quiste broncogénico.

Background: Bronchogenic cysts are close sacks originated from abnormal development of the tracheobronchial tree. These lesions are usually asymptomatic or can cause symptoms, by compression of adjacent structures. This pathology is so unusual that there are only about 23 cases published in adults.

Case report: We report a case of a 44 year-old man with persistent cough, without other symptom. The most common causes for his symptoms were ruled out, so imaging studies were made, showing at the medial portion of the esophagus, located intramural a 40 × 43 mm ovoid lesion. Resected by video-assisted thoracoscopy for its study. With findings attributable to bronchogenic cyst.

Keywords: Bronchogenic cyst; Esophageal cyst; Esophagus; Esófago; Leiomioma; Leiomyoma; Quiste broncogénico; Quiste esofágico.
