Abstract | We present a new case of a cutaneous bronchogenic cyst on the scapular area in a 2-year-old boy. The asymptomatic nodule over his right scapula had been detected at birth and had been gradually growing. Cutaneous bronchogenic cysts located near the scapula are extremely rare. The proposed mechanism is that the accessory buds from the tracheobronchial tree/primitive foregut migrated from the thorax in an aberrant manner to lie in a periscapular position. Cutaneous bronchogenic cysts are poorly recognized by clinicians because they lack pathognomonic clinical symptoms. The diagnosis is based on the histopathological findings in the majority of cases. Complete excision and histological examination are indicated to confirm the diagnosis, to relieve symptoms, and to prevent complications, such as infection or malignancy. |
