-==[[Bronchogenic cyst overview|Overview]]==
-Bronchogenic [[cyst]] is a rare [[benign]] [[congenital malformation]] of the [[respiratory tract|tracheobronchial tree]] derived from the ventral aspect of the [[foregut]]. It most frequently occurs in the middle mediastinum, in the early stages of [[gestation]] or in the lungs, at the later stages of gestation. Atypical locations may be explained by its embryologic origin.
-Patients with bronchogenic [[cyst]] may be asymptomatic or present with [[respiratory distress]], increasing [[stridor]],  feeding difficulties, [[chest pain]], [[cough]], progressive [[dysphagia]], [[odynophagia]], purulent sputum, [[dyspnea]], [[anorexia]] and/or[[ weight loss]].
-Radiologic findings are useful to differentiate bronchogenic [[cysts]] from other [[cysts]] but may they not always confirm the diagnosis. Diagnosis is confirmed by surgical excision, which is curative, and histological findings of ciliated [[columnar epithelial]] lining of the [[cyst]].
