Abstract
We herein report a rare case of ileal bronchogenic cyst that was found in a 39-year-old Chinese man. He had no symptoms and the physical examination was normal. Tumor markers were within the normal range. Abdominopelvic enhanced computed tomography showed a mass in the lower abdominal cavity and the tumor had a complete capsule. Diagnostic laparoscopy was then performed, which showed that a spheroid mass with a complete capsule was located at the antimesenteric border of the distal ileum 20 cm from the ileocecal valve, measuring 6.0 cm × 6.0 cm × 5.0 cm. Considering that the malignancy of the tumor cannot be ruled out, and there is a risk of rupture during laparoscopic surgery, the patient was converted to an open surgery. Partial resection of the ileum with the tumor was performed, followed by a side-to-side anastomosis. The tumor was gray-red in color, filled with grayish yellow mucus and had no septum. The postoperative pathology revealed that the cystic wall was lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium without cellular atypia. The wall consisted of bronchial mucous glands and smooth muscle fibers, and no abnormalities were found in adjacent ileum tissues. Thus, a diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst of the ileum was made.
