Abstract
Bronchogenic cyst is one of the more common congenital pulmonary anomalies. It is related to abnormal budding of the tracheobronchial tree during embryologic development. These lesions may present as a mass in the lung parenchyma in the mediastinum or within or below the diaphragm. An unusual case of bronchogenic cyst presenting as a mass in the supraclavicular fossa of a 24-year-old woman is reported. Treatment of bronchogenic cyst consists of excision of the mass. Recurrence is rare if excision is complete.Entities:
