Sternal Bronchogenic Cyst:
A rare condition
Kamran Ahmad Malik1
ABSTRACT
Bronchogenic cyst is a congenital developmental abnormality of the embryonic foregut usually formed as a result of an accessory lung bud becoming isolated from the rest of the tracheobroncheal tree. Usually a solitary extra pulmonary cyst, it’s a benign condition, found most commonly in the mediastinum with rare occurrence on the skin or subcutaneous tissues.We report a case of cutaneous bronchogenic cyst that occurred in the skin over the manubrium sterni of four years old boy. The diagnosis was made by the histopathological findings which revealed ciliated & mucin-producing pseudo stratified columnar epithelium of respiratory type.
