Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts occur until gestational 6th week from abnormal budding of trachea. They are generally situated in middle mediastinum and parenchyma of the lungs. In our case, a 39-year-old man presented with cough and exertional dyspnoea for the last 2 months. On evaluation, he was found to have right posterior mediastinal cyst compressing the esophagus with features of a bronchogenic cyst on the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the thorax. Barium swallow showed no communication with the esophagus. Intraoperatively, the bronchogenic cyst was intramural within the esophageal wall. This is a rare site for a bronchogenic cyst in the posterior mediastinum. Its treatment is surgical excision on diagnosis. [2].
