ABSTRACT

A congenital malformation is defined as an abnormality of structure, function or metabolism or genetically determined or as resulting from the environmental interference during the embryonic or fetal life and that can be pronounced subsequent to at the moment of the birth or this. Bronchogenic cyst arises from abnormal budding of the diverticulum of the foregut that leads to abnormality of the tracheobronquial tree. Objective: To inform the case into a feminine patient of 49 years of age, carrier of a LOE in posterior mediastinum. Method: Description of the clinical case and revision of Literature. Environment: Department of Surgery. University Hospital Dr. Luis Razetti. Barcelona. State Anzoátegui Result: it was come to make left posterolateral thoracotomy (D4-D5) by LOE in posterior mediastinum more escisional biopsy. Conclusions: The Bronchogenic Cyst have a thin own wall with cartilage, smooth muscle and bronchial glands. They can have communication with the aerial route and if the formation of the cyst were very precocious they can exist zones with epithelia gastric or esophagus. Usually they are cleared, uniloculares and the content can be aerial, serous or mucous. The clinical picture varies in agreement with its location and size. When they are pronounced clinically is for compressive or infectious reasons. The x-ray and tomography of thorax allow us to identify the type, location and extension of the injury. Combined to it, any persistent pathological radiological image, especially in pediatrics, forces to discard a malformation to broncopulmonar. An opportune diagnosis is important to be able to offer to our patients an suitable treatment, that in this type of injuries is surgical.
