| Popis: | Bronchogenic cysts are lesions that are an anomaly of congenital development. Although most are found in the mediastinum, bronchogenic cysts can be found in many different anatomical positions in the body and can have multiple presentations. These lesions can be asymptomatic and found incidentally, or they can present with specific symptoms. Bronchogenic cysts can be diagnosed on multiple radiographic modalities including conventional radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Most are treated conservatively but the possibility of infection or malignant transformation has caused some clinicians to recommend invasive treatment for these lesions. This article presents a case report of the diagnosis and management of a paravertebral bronchogenic cyst in a 64-year-old female. |
