Abstract
- Bronchogenic cysts are anomalous cystic lesions of foregut and usually located in the lung or mediastinum. Generally intramuscular cysts of the esophagus are considered as enterogenous foregut malformations. We report a young adult with an intramural bronchogenic cyst causing dysphagia and heartburn. It was located in the muscular layer of the esophagus and was removed without any damage to the mucosa. Histopathologic findings revealed that it was a bronchogenic cyst.
