Özet
Cutaneous bronchogenic cyst is a rare developmental anomaly originating from distal tracheobronchial tract. The most common localizations of cutaneous bronchogenic cysts are suprasternal and presternal regions. They are rarely are found on the back, neck, shoulder and chin area. In clinical practice, bronchogenic cysts are observed as asymptomatic elevations, which may seldomly be associated with serous discharge. Developmental anomalies such as bronchogenic cysts and other congenital lesions such as branchial cleft cyst, thymic cyst, thyroid cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, epidermal inclusion cyst and cystic hygroma should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of persistent lesions found on the neck area. Here, a patient with bilateral cervical bronchogenic cysts is presented. Copyright © 2011 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
