Abstract
- Bronchogenic cyst is relatively uncommon disease in clinical practice, 15 cases of bronchogenic cyst wereobtained and X-ray findings were analized retrospectively. The results are as follows: 1. 5 patients were symptomfree (30%) and common symptoms and signs were hemoptysis, dyspnea, chest pain in order of frequency. 2. 9 patientswere female and 6 patients were male. The most common age group was 21 years old to 30 years old(40%) and the nexcomon age group was 31 years old to 40 years old (20%) 3. 9 cases of intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst and 6 casesof mediastinal bronchogenic cyst were obtained. 4. The average size of bronchogenic cyst was about 8x7x6cm. 5. Thecommon location of intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst was lower lobe (56%) and common x-ray findings was thin walledcyst with air fluid level(78%). 6. Bronchography was performed in 3 cases of intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst andonly one case demonstrated comunication with bronchus. 7. All 6 cases of mediastinal bronchogenic cyst showed wellmarginated soft tissue mass density. 3 cases were performed CT scanning and average precontrast Hounsfield numberwas 51 unit. No case showed contrast enhancement.
