RESUMO
Esophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital noncancerous growths. Symptoms of this disease are reported to be asymptomatic in approximately 70% but include respiratory symptoms such as coughing and difficulty breathing. Minimally invasive removal of these cysts without esophagectomy is typically recommended. However, when the cyst is situated in the upper mediastinum, surgical excision becomes technically challenging. Here, we report a case of an obese female patient with esophageal duplication cyst in the upper mediastinum who underwent successfully robotic-assisted complete removal of the cyst. A 50-year-old woman presented to a local clinic with a persistent cough and hoarseness lasting 4 months. A computed tomography scan revealed a large cystic tumor in the upper mediastinum, causing displacement of the trachea. The resection of the cystic tumor was safely performed with robotic assistance. The use of robotic system for the removal of esophageal duplication cyst is technically safe and feasible.

BACKGROUND: Esophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital tumors usually diagnosed and treated during childhood. Most of them are located in the mediastinum and appear as a mass besides the esophagus. Unfortunately, symptoms are non-specific and depend on the size and location of the mass; therefore, they can easily be missed. If symptoms appear, surgical resection is necessary to prevent troublesome complications. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with severe progressive dysphagia and epigastric pain. After further evaluation, a paraesophageal cystic mass was found, and surgery was required. Non-communicating esophageal duplication cyst was the final diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Esophageal duplication cysts are a rare pathology in adults; their symptoms will vary depending on their size and location. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult as symptoms are non-specific and can be missed. If severe dysphagia, pain, or any other complication appears, surgery should not be delayed.

ABSTRACT: Esophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that are often symptomatic because of compression of surrounding structures. They are commonly diagnosed during childhood, with affected patients often presenting with abdominal pain or chest pain. Point-of-care ultrasound can be used as part of the emergency department evaluation of pediatric chest pain. We present a case of a 6-year-old boy who presented to the emergency department with worsening abdominal and chest pain, where point-of-care cardiac ultrasound identified a cystic structure in the posterior mediastinum.

BACKGROUND: Esophageal duplication cysts are a rare congenital cystic malformation from faulty intrauterine recanalization of the esophagus during the 4-8th weeks of development. They account for 20% of all gastrointestinal duplication cysts and commonly involve the distal esophagus. Presenting symptoms may be related to size and location. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review was performed by searching published literature in various databases. Data from 97 reported case reports were pooled to present a descriptive and statistical analysis. RESULTS: Patient population was composed of 51(52.5%) males and 46 (47.5%) females, and mean ages was 42.3 years (18-77). Distal cysts were the most prevalent. Seventy-nine (81.4%) patients were symptomatic; common symptoms included dysphagia, chest pain, cough and weight loss. Fifteen (15.5%) patients were treated conservatively and 75 (84.5%) by surgical treatment, among them thoracotomy in 30 (30.9%) patients and VATS in 17 (17.5%) patients. Mean length of hospital stay was 8.6 days (range: 1-26 days). One fatality was registered. Location, unlike size, was not found to influence presenting symptoms or treatment employed. Frequency of conservative treatment was not significantly different between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Open approaches were associated with longer stays than their minimally invasive counterparts. CONCLUSION: Esophageal duplication cysts remain rare in adults and are frequently located in the distal esophagus. Larger cysts are more likely to cause symptoms. Various surgical techniques may successfully be employed in the treatment of this pathology. Minimally invasive procedures have a shorter hospital stay.

Esophageal bronchogenic cysts are rare, and since a limited number of cases has been reported, the treatment plan for asymptomatic patients is difficult. A 55-year-old man without any symptoms visited our hospital for further examination of an esophageal mass detected on simple computed tomography. Upper endoscopy showed the protruding, submucosal mass covered by normal mucosa, and endoscopic sonography confirmed hypoechoic lesions originating from the muscularis propria. The patient was diagnosed as having an esophageal duplication cyst and underwent thoracoscopic resection. Pathological findings were consistent with an esophageal bronchogenic cyst. The patient was discharged without any problems on the 6th postoperative day. Upper endoscopy was performed 6 months after surgery, and no evidence of esophageal diverticula or narrowing was present. In conclusion, early thoracoscopic resection of esophageal bronchogenic cysts, before appearance of the symptom, can be a considerable treatment option because it is less invasive and may be advantageous for obtaining a definitive diagnosis in patients who are candidates for safe surgical resection.

INTRODUCTION: Intramural bronchogenic cysts of the esophagus are very rare. They are mostly found in the upper mediastinum. Symptoms are caused by compression of surrounding structures by the cyst or complications of the cyst. However, the majority are asymptomatic. CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a 30-year-old female patient who underwent surgery at our institution for a tumor of the gastric cardia protruding intraluminally. The tumor was found incidentally during upper endoscopy before a planned bariatric surgery. A solid lesion originating from the muscle layer of the cardia wall was described based on endoscopic ultrasound. A CT scan did not show any infiltration of surrounding structures or disease dissemination. We performed laparoscopic enucleation of the tumor combined with partial fundoplication to close the defect in the muscular layer of the esophagus. Histopathology report surprisingly confirmed a bronchogenic cyst in the gastric cardia wall. The patient healed primarily and was soon discharged without complications. Two months later she underwent sleeve gastrectomy for obesity. Seven months following the bronchogenic cyst enucleation an endoscopic balloon dilation was performed on the patient with good effect upon diagnosing a relative gastric cardia stenosis. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of esophageal bronchogenic cysts is usually difficult. Histopathology results are crucial to determine the definitive diagnosis. Endoscopy and imaging techniques, including endoscopic ultrasound, play an important role in the diagnostic process. Most authors prefer complete removal of the cyst, endoscopic or surgical, due to possible cyst complications, diagnostic uncertainty, and certainly in symptomatic patients. The complication rate is minimal.

A 6-month-old female presented for 2 months of noisy breathing. Flexible laryngoscopy showed limited bilateral vocal fold abduction. Computed tomography revealed a non-enhancing 3.6 × 2.3 × 3.5 cystic prevertebral mass spanning C2-T. Using an endoscopic approach, the overlying mucosa was incised, and the cyst was freed and fully excised from the surrounding mucosa with blunt microlaryngeal instruments without complication. Three months postoperatively she had no respiratory issues and was eating well. Flexible laryngoscopy revealed bilateral vocal fold mobility. We propose that endoscopic removal of a cervical esophageal duplication cyst in selected cases is an alternative to open excision. Laryngoscope, 130:2053-2055, 2020.

BACKGROUND: Intramural esophageal bronchogenic cyst is very rare. Surgical removal of the cysts is advised even the patients are asymptomatic, since the cyst can lead to complications, and there is a risk of malignant transformation. Thoracotomy or thoracoscopy is the most commonly used approach for complete excision of the cysts. To our knowledge, this is the first report to excise intramural esophageal bronchogenic cyst completely by endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD). CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year-old male was referred to our hospital due to the detection of a submucosal tumor at the distal esophagus. The tumor was found during gastroendoscopy in a general health check-up. The patient had no symptoms. A benign esophageal tumor was confirmed by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and computed tomography (CT). On the basis of these results, ESTD was performed. During the procedure, a cystic mass was observed between the mucosa and the muscular layers of the esophagus, and a hybrid knife was used for dissection. Histopathological examination showed the cyst wall was lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, consistent with a bronchogenic cyst. The esophagography using meglumine diatrizoate showed no leakage on the seventh day after ESTD. The patient remained asymptomatic and had a regular diet during the follow-up period. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: We successfully utilized ESTD for complete removal of esophageal bronchogenic cysts originating from the muscularis propria. The approach appeared safe, providing a minimally invasive treatment option for patients.

RATIONALE: Esophageal duplication cyst (EDC) is a rare developmental aberration originated from the embryonic foregut. It may remain asymptomatic but produce local mass effect on surrounding organs if rapid enlarges. EDC may sometimes accompany with other congenital malformations. Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a congenital lung malformation with an unknown chance of developing symptoms. Here we report a rare case of esophageal duplication cyst with type 2 congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). PATIENT CONCERNS: A 16-month old boy with a prenatal diagnosis of type 2 CPAM presented progressive stridor and respiratory distress and was admitted to our hospital under the diagnosis of pneumonia. The patient responded poorly to antibiotics. A chest Xray (CXR) showed consolidation over the left upper lobe with trachea deviated to right side. A chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a cystic lesion sized 3.3â×â3.3âcm in the superior mediastinum. DIAGNOSES: Post-operative pathological report confirmed the diagnosis of esophageal duplication cyst. INTERVENTIONS: We pre-medicated the patient with steroids and inhaled bronchodilators for airway maintenance. Then the patient received tumor resection via median sternotomy. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered without complication and discharged smoothly 4 days after the surgery. LESSONS: EDC is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease owning to compression of large airways. Chest CT scan could detect the lesion non-invasively and should be considered in patients with persistent stridor, as well as CXR findings of the trachea deviated by a mass lesion in mediastinum, especially for those with CPAM.

A 71-year-old man came to our hospital for endoscopic treatment of a suspicious early gastric carcinoma. A 0.6×0.4 cm protrusive esophageal lesion with smooth surface was found accidentally, located at about 20 cm from the incisors. The lesion was successfully resected by endoscopic mucosal resection, which was esophageal cyst containing heterotopic gastric glands.
