ABSTRACT
El quiste broncogénico es un remanente del desarrollo de traquea y bronquios. Alteraciones en la migración de células durante el desarrollo, permite que estos grupos originen quistes revestidos por epitelio respiratorio. La ubicación más habitual es la intratoráxica, dentro de ella, la intrapulmonar es la más frecuente, seguida de la mediastínica. El diagnóstico definitivo se establece mediante la biopsia diferida. Es una patología poco frecuente y las presentaciones extra torácicas son muy infrecuentes, por lo que compartimos dos casos, uno de ubicación sublingual y otro de ubicación subcutánea en zona escapular.
The bronchogenic cyst is a remanent of the development of the tracheobronchial tree. Alterations in cell migration during development cause the formation of cyst lining by respiratory epithelium. They are usually located in the thorax in lung and mediastinum. The definite diagnosis is realized with the pathology report. This is an uncommon pathological condition and the extra- thoracic forms are very unusual. We present two cases, one of which is of sublingual location and the other of subcutaneous location at the scapular site.

Pulmonary bronchogenic cyst in adults is rare and the typical appearance is a sharply circumscribed, round or oval nodule or mass, usually in the medial third of the lungs. Bronchial polyps are rare histopathologically distinct nonneoplastic endobronchial lesions and are classified as multiple papillomas, solitary papillomas, and inflammatory polyps. We herein report a patient with polypoid endobronchial lung cyst. A 68-yr-old woman presented with a discomfort and pain in the right upper chest of four weeks' duration. Chest radiography revealed a cystic lesion in the right upper lung. Computed tomography revealed a 4x5 cm sized large cyst. Neither enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes nor extrabronchial involvements were observed. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed a peduncular polyp about 2 cm in length originating from the anterior segment of right upper lung. After bronchoscopic removal of polyp, cystic lesion of the right upper lung disappeared.
