Although bronchogenic cysts most frequently develop within pulmonary parenchyma or mediastinum, they may also be found within the pericardium or in the diaphragm. Unlike pulmonary bronchogenic cysts, the mediastinal variety rarely communicates with the tracheobronchial tree and has been reported as always solitary. This report presents a case with two bronchogenic cysts located in the mediastinum. On review of literature we found no case report of multiple mediastinal bronchogenic cysts. Thus it appears to be the first case report of two mediastinal bronchogenic cysts. A 40-year-old female was admitted to hospital on August 8, 1972, with the complaint of intermittent haemoptysis of two weeks' duration. Past history consisted of two episodes of pneumonia in 1939. Her father died of bronchogenic carcinoma, and a female cousin h... |
