Role of Endoscopic Ultrasonography in Intramural Bronchogenic Cysts: Case Reports and Review of the Literature

The differentiation between a solid and cystic lesion is not always easy. EUS has provided a minimally invasive approach to the diagnosis of benign mediastinal cysts. Our report describes two cases of intramural bronchogenic cysts and reviews the role of EUS in dealing with such cases. We conclude t...

Sumario:The differentiation between a solid and cystic lesion is not always easy. EUS has provided a minimally invasive approach to the diagnosis of benign mediastinal cysts. Our report describes two cases of intramural bronchogenic cysts and reviews the role of EUS in dealing with such cases. We conclude that the bronchogenic cysts are still a challenge despite evolution of the imaging studies.
