Overview
It is thought that bronchogenic cyst is the result of abnormal budding of the ventral [1] portion of the primitive foregut[2][3][4]destined to become the tracheobronchial tree[5] between days 26 - 40 of gestation. [5] At such, it is often found in relation to the trachea or esophagus.[6] On rare occasions, they may be found in the cranial, cervical, mediastinal, and abdominal regions. If the cell mass maintains its connection with the tracheobronchial tree, the cyst becomes intrapulmonary or in close association with the lungs. If separated, there is no contiunity with the bronchia lumen. Such cyst increases in size gradually due to secretions produced within the cavity, leading to compressive symptoms.[2][7]
Gross pathology
Bronchogenic cyst appear as single or multiple smooth spherical pink masses which may be unlobulated or lobulated. [5][2] The lobules could be of various sizes, communicating or noncommunicating. The wall is relatively thin and frequently trabeculated,[2] even though there may be thicker portions. Cyst often appear to have check valves,[8] leading to their enlargement from secretions by its clilated columnar epithelium. Secretions may be a thick, white mucoid material if uninfected, and a dirty brown mucoid to purulent material if infected.[2] Occassionally, secretions could be hemorrhagic or pneumatic.[3]
Histopathology
Bronchogenic cysts are usually lined by ciliated columnar epithelium of respiratory type, leading to distention as a result of secretions produced within the cavity. Cyst wall may be composed of cartilage, smooth muscle, fibrous tissue, chronic inflammatory infiltrates, necrotic tissue, focal areas of squamous metaplasia, vascular proliferation, bronchial gland, and mucous glands.[5] [2] [9] [4][10]
Bronchogenic cysts originate from anomalous development of the ventral foregut and can be found throughout the tracheoesophageal distribution including perihilar or intraparenchymal areas. they are usually single but may be multiple.
The most common location to find the anomaly is in the carina. The rarest locations include the interatrial septum, neck, abdomen, and retroperitoneal space.
If the cyst compresses a vital respiratory or cardiac structure, it can be symptomatic and life threatening.

-
Lower Respiratory Tract: Bronchogenic cysts are grossly nondescript, usually unilocular cavities containing mucus or mucopurulent material with a wall that varies in thickness and may contain cartilage. -

-
Mediastinum: Bronchogenic cyst; A thin-walled cyst which was present in the posterior mediastinum is distended with slightly cloudy somewhat mucinous fluid. -
Heart-Great Vessels: Bronchogenic cyst; This example was removed from the epicardial surface of a 13-year-old.
Microscopic Pathology
-
Lower Respiratory Tract: Intrathoracic bronchogenic cyst; Histologically, smooth muscle bundles, minor salivary gland type tissue, and cartilage can be seen in the wall of the cyst. -
Lower Respiratory Tract: Intrathoracic bronchogenic cyst; The lining is typically pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium which may show foci of squamous metaplasia at sites of inflammation (arrow).
-
Lower Respiratory Tract: Bronchogenic cyst; There is a cyst lined by bronchiolar epithelium and thick fascicles of smooth muscle in the wall. Islands of cartilage and submucosal salivary glands are lacking and the designation "foregut cyst consistent with bronchogenic cyst" might be more appropriate. -

-
Lower Respiratory Tract: Bronchogenic cyst; There is a multiloculated cyst lined by bronchiolar epithelium. A small island of cartilage is present at the upper right. -
Heart-Great Vessels: Bronchogenic cyst; The lining cells are cuboidal, and the cysts are surrounded by muscle and may contain underlying seromucous glands.
-
Mediastinum: Bronchogenic cyst; The inner surface is smooth and trabeculated in areas. -
Mediastinum: Bronchogenic cyst; The cyst is lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells and the wall contains accessory glands, layers of smooth muscle, and cartilage. -
