Abstract
RATIONALE Bronchogenic cyst (BC) is a congenital disease characterized by an anomaly of the foregut in the embryonic stage. Gastric BC is exceedingly rare and has never been accurately diagnosed prior to surgery; it is often misidentified as gastric stromal tumor, with the definitive diagnosis confirmed through postoperative specimens. Although gastric BC is considered a benign lesion, its prognosis remains uncertain, underscoring the importance of accurate preoperative identification. PATIENT CONCERNS The present study reported the case of a 64-year-old female who presented with 2 incidentally detected lesions of the gastric corpus and antrum. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed cystic lesions with delayed enhancement of the cyst wall and no enhancement of the cyst contents. INTERVENTIONS AND DIAGNOSES The patient underwent a laparoscopic partial gastrectomy. BC was diagnosed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry after surgery. OUTCOMES The patient had an uneventful hospital course and was discharged on the eleventh postoperative day. No recurrence or metastasis was observed after 33 months. LESSONS BC of the stomach is mostly ovate in shape with well-defined margins. The cyst wall shows prolonged enhancement and calcification may occur at the edges. The density and signal of the cyst content varied with composition. These imaging features are helpful for differentiating diagnoses from other diseases.

[PMID: 38808345 PMCID: PMC11129127 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i13.2254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are extremely rare cystic masses caused by abnormal development of the respiratory system during the embryonic period. Gastric bronchial cysts are rare lesions that were first reported in 1956; as of 2023, only 33 cases are available in the PubMed online database. BCs usually have no clinical symptoms in the early stage, and imaging findings also lack specificity. Therefore, they are difficult to diagnose before histopathological examination. CASE SUMMARY A 34-year-old woman with respiratory distress presented at our hospital. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed an anechoic mass between the spleen, left kidney and gastric fundus, with hyperechogenic and soft elastography textures and with a size of approximately 6.5 cm × 4.0 cm. Furthermore, a computed tomography scan demonstrated high density between the posterior stomach and the spleen and the left kidney, with uniform internal density and a small amount of calcification. The maximum cross section was approximately 10.1 cm × 6.1 cm, and the possibility of a cyst was high. Because the imaging findings did not suggest a malignancy and because the patient required complete resection, she underwent laparotomy surgery. Intraoperatively, this cystic lesion was found to be located in the posterior wall of the large curvature of the fundus and was approximately 8 cm × 6 cm in size. Finally, the pathologists verified that the cyst in the fundus was a gastric BC. The patient recovered well, her symptoms of chest tightness disappeared, and the abdominal drain was removed on postoperative day 6, after which she was discharged on day 7 for 6 months of follow-up. She had no tumor recurrence or postoperative complications during the follow-up. CONCLUSION This is a valuable report as it describes an extremely rare case of gastric BC. Moreover, this was a very young patient with a large BC in the stomach.

Optimal resection of gastric bronchogenic cysts based on anatomical continuity with adherent gastric muscular layer: A case report. World J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 15:1216-1223. [PMID: 37405090 PMCID: PMC10315120 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v15.i6.1216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions requiring radical resection because of malignant potential. However, a method for the optimal resection of these cysts has not been completely elucidated.
CASE SUMMARY Herein, we presented three patients with bronchogenic cysts that were located adjacent to the gastric wall and resected laparoscopically. The cysts were detected incidentally with no symptoms and the preoperative diagnosis was challenging to obtain via radiological examinations. Based on laparoscopic findings, the cyst was attached firmly to the gastric wall and the boundary between the gastric and cyst walls was difficult to identify. Consequently, resection of cysts alone caused cystic wall injury in Patient 1. Meanwhile, the cyst was resected completely along with a part of the gastric wall in Patient 2. Histopathological examination revealed the final diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst and revealed that the cyst wall shared the muscular layer with the gastric wall in Patients 1 and 2. In Patient 3, the cyst was located adjacent to the gastric wall but histopathologically originated from diaphragm rather than stomach. All the patients were free from recurrence.
CONCLUSION The findings of this study state that a safe and complete resection of bronchogenic cysts required the adherent gastric muscular layer or full-thickness dissection, if bronchogenic cysts are suspected via pre- and/or intraoperative findings.

Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations caused by aberrant foregut budding. They major occur in the thorax, with subdiaphragmatic cases being uncommon. Here, we present a series of 19 patients diagnosed with subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts histopathologically at a single institution in China from 2012 to 2021. A literature review was also conducted by searching the PubMed database using keywords related to "bronchogenic cysts" and "subdiaphragmatic," yielding 107 cases. Taken together, the 126 cases had a median age of 41.0 years (interquartile range, 30.0-51.0 years) and 62 of them were male (49.2%). The cysts were most commonly detected in the left adrenal region (36.2%), followed by the pancreatic region (11.5%) and gastric cardia/lesser curvature of the stomach (9.2%). All patients except two underwent surgery for a definite diagnosis, symptom alleviation, and (or) malignancy prevention. Most patients recovered fast and were discharged from the hospital within 1 week after surgery, and the surgical complications were infrequent. The prognosis was generally favorable, as no recurrence was reported during the follow-up as long as 77 months.

Intra-abdominal ectopic bronchogenic cyst with a mucinous neoplasm harboring a GNAS mutation: A case report. World J Clin Cases 2022; 10:8709-8717. [PMID: 36157792 PMCID: PMC9453374 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v10.i24.8709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Revised: 04/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchogenic cysts are congenital cysts caused by abnormal sprouting from the ventral foregut during fetal life. They usually occur in the mediastinum or lung, but there are very rare cases of ectopic bronchogenic cysts that develop in the abdominal cavity. A unique intra-abdominal ectopic bronchogenic cyst with a mucinous neoplasm that was producing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), harboring a GNAS mutation, is reported. The present case may contribute to clarifying the mechanism of tumorigenesis and malignant transformation of ectopic bronchogenic cysts.
CASE SUMMARY In 2007, a man in his 50s was incidentally found to have an intra-abdominal cystic mass, 8 cm in diameter. Surgical resection was recommended, but he preferred to remain under observation. In 2020, his serum CEA level increased to 26.7 ng/mL, and abdominal computed tomography showed a 15 cm × 12 cm, multifocal, cystic mass located predominantly on the lesser curvature of the stomach. Since malignancy could not be ruled out, he finally underwent surgical resection. Histologically, the cystic wall was lined by ciliated columnar epithelium, accompanied by bronchial gland-like tissue, bronchial cartilage, and smooth muscle. Part of the cyst consisted of atypical columnar epithelium with an MIB-1 index of 5% and positive for CEA. Moreover, a GNAS mutation (p.R201C) was detected in the atypical epithelium, leading to a diagnosis of an ectopic bronchogenic cyst with a low-grade mucinous neoplasm. The patient is currently undergoing outpatient follow-up without recurrence.
CONCLUSION An extremely rare case of an abdominal bronchogenic cyst with a low-grade mucinous neoplasm harboring a GNAS mutation was reported.

Abstract
Bronchogenic cyst (BC) is a rare congenital disease with pre-embryonic intestinal malformation. BC of the stomach is rare. The present study reported on the case of a 68-year-old male who presented with a spleen and stomach space mass detected incidentally upon a routine health examination. The patient underwent laparotomy. Postoperative histopathological diagnosis confirmed BC of the stomach. Postoperative recovery was smooth and the patient is currently under follow-up. A literature review suggested that BC is a rare disease and the location of the stomach is very rare. Indications of surgical intervention remain controversial for asymptomatic cases. Owing to no specific clinical or radiologic features to define the disease profile for diagnosis, surgery may be a good choice for both diagnosis and therapy if the patient's condition permits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are extremely rare cystic masses caused by abnormal development of the respiratory system during the embryonic period. Gastric bronchial cysts are rare lesions first reported in 1956; as of 2019, only 37 cases are available in the MEDLINE/PubMed online databases. BCs usually have no clinical symptoms in the early stage, and their imaging findings also lack specificity. Therefore, they are difficult to diagnose before histopathological examination. CASE SUMMARY A 55-year-old woman presented at our hospital with intermittent epigastric pain. She had a slightly high level of serum carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA 72-4). Endoscopic ultrasound found that a cystic mass originated from the submucosa of the posterior gastric wall near the cardia, indicating a diagnosis of cystic hygroma of the stomach. Furthermore, a computed tomography scan demonstrated a quasi-circular cystic mass closely related to the lesser curvature of the gastric fundus with a low density. Because the imaging examinations did not suggest a malignancy and the patient required complete resection, she underwent laparoscopic surgery. As an intraoperative finding, this cystic lesion was located in the posterior wall of the fundus and contained some yellow viscous liquid. Finally, the pathologists verified that the cyst in the fundus was a gastric BC. The patient recovered well with normal CA 72-4 levels, and her course was uneventful at 10 mo. CONCLUSION This is a valuable report as it describes an extremely rare case of gastric BC. Moreover, this is the first case of BC to present with elevated CA 72-4 levels.

Abstract
Introduction:
Duplication cysts are rare malformations that exist in the alimentary tract, and the mucosa of gastric bronchogenic cyst lined by pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium (PCCE) is even more rare. We reviewed related literatures to depict this unique abnormality.
Case presentation:
Herein we report an abdominal mass that was found incidentally in a 52-year-old female. The biochemical test of contents revealed a high concentration of tumor markers unusually. A laparoscopic surgery was undertaken to remove the lesion. The cyst was found to originate from the stomach but did not show any anatomic communication with the stomach lumen. Pathologic examination confirmed the mucosa was lined by PCCE.
Conclusion:
The symptoms and radiologic presentations of GDC are nonspecific. It should be distinguished with other abdominal cystic masses. Surgery is advised in respective of malignancy.

Abstract
Gastric bronchogenic cysts are rare lesions, first described in 1956, with only 34 cases reported in the literature to date. The present study described a case of bronchogenic cyst of the stomach in a 17-year-old female who presented with periodic epigastric pain. In addition, the study analyzed the existing literature on these lesions. Gastric bronchogenic cysts are more common in females (female:male ratio, 21:14) and the median age of their development is 43 years. In total, 48.57% of the 34 previously reported cases were identified incidentally, and the remainder presented mainly with epigastric pain. Cyst sizes varied between 1.7 and 15 cm. In 3 cases, preoperative diagnosis was performed using needle biopsy, whereas several studies were initially misdiagnosed as stromal tumors. In 85% of the cases (31/35), cyst resection was performed, with laparoscopy used in 4 of the cases. The findings of the present study and literature review suggested that bronchogenic cysts of the stomach are rare, and surgical resection is warranted to treat symptoms and prevent malignant transformation.

We discuss a young female patient with presumed enteric duplication cysts who was found to have three bronchogenic and gastroenteric cysts upon pathologic review. We discuss the pathophysiology of bronchogenic cysts and their malignant potential.

Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are a rare clinical entity because of anomalism of foregut in the embryonic stage. They have been described mostly within the mediastinum and are uncommon reported arising from the stomach. In this article, we report two cases of BC of stomach identified by pathological examination after surgical resection. It is extremely difficult to make a definitive diagnosis preoperatively just based on imaging findings. Surgical resection may be indicated if malignancy is suspected, or the cyst is enlarging or infected or causing symptoms.

Abstract
Gastric duplication cyst (GDC) with a pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium is an uncommon malformation supposed to originate from a respiratory diverticulum arising from the ventral foregut. Morphologic appearance of GDCs is variable, depending on the density of their contents. GDCs are often misdiagnosed as solid masses by imaging techniques, and as a consequence they may be wrongly overtreated. We report our case of a 56-year-old man with a 5 cm hypoechoic mass of the gastroesophageal junction, incidentally detected by transabdominal ultrasonography. Neither transabdominal ultrasonography nor magnetic resonance clearly outlined the features of the lesion. The patient underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), which showed a hypoechoic mass arising from the fourth layer of the anterior gastric wall, just below the gastroesophageal junction. According to EUS features, a diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor was suggested. EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology revealed a diagnosis of GDC with pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium. We therefore performed an endoscopically-assisted laparoscopic excision of the cyst. In conclusion, whenever a subepithelial gastric mass is found in the upper part of the gastric wall, a duplication cyst, although rare, should be considered. In this case, EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology could provide a cytological diagnosis useful to arrange in advance the more adequate surgical treatment.

Abstract
Gastric duplication cyst (GDC) lined by pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium (PCCE) is an uncommon lesion stemming from a foregut developmental malformation. Its clinical and radiological presentation is usually nonspecific. In this study, we reported a 76-year-old man who presented with an incidentally found perigastric mass. An exploratory laparotomy revealed a non-communicating cyst below the gastroesophageal junction, measuring 4 cm×4 cm in size. Microscopically, the gastric cyst was lined merely by PCCE. Although rare, GDC lined by PCCE should be included in the differential diagnosis of gastric wall masses. Surgical intervention is warranted in patients who have clinical symptoms, or who are aged more than 50 years.
