Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations of the foregut which a re generally encountered within the mediastinum. We explored a patient presenting with a cystic, partially calcified tumor in a cervical and retrotracheal location. This lesion was interpreted as a thyroid aden oma preoperatively, but identified as a bronchogenic cyst at pathology . (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
