20 density similar to that of the cardiac shadow and pro- jecting from the mediastinum, to hyperinflation or ate- lectasis of a lobe or an entire lung. As illustrated by our patient (Fig. 3, 4), when the lesion communicates with the esophagus or the tracheobronchial tree, airfluid levels may be seen. Because of the risk of complications, such as infection, hemorrhage, pneumothorax, sudden respiratory compromise and malignant transformation, most authors recommend elective resection of bronchogenic cysts. Histologically, the cyst wall has structural elements of the air way, including cartilage (as an obligatory finding to allow differentiation from an enteric duplication cyst), smooth muscle, mucous glands and respiratory epithelium (1).
