ABSTRACT
Los quistes broncogénicos afectan raramente a la superficie cutánea, por lo que son difíciles de diagnosticar clínicamente y, a menudo, se confunden con otros tipos de quistes. Presentamos un caso de un adulto joven a quien extirpamos una lesión quística en la región superior del tórax que mostró características de quiste broncogénico. Cabe destacar que, en casi todos los casos, el diagnóstico de esta patología se realiza por estudio histopatológico y hacemos especial referencia a los diagnósticos diferenciales
Bronchogenic cysts rarely affect the cutaneous surface, so they are difficult to diagnose clinically and are often confused with other types of cysts. We present the case of a young adult in whom a cystic lesion showing characteristics of a bronchogenic cyst was excised from the upper thorax area. We emphasize the fact that, in nearly all cases, the diagnosis of this pathology is made through a histopathological study, and we make special reference to the differential diagnoses
