Subphrenic bronchogenic cyst mimicking a juxtahepatic solid lesion

Abdom Imaging. 2003 May-Jun;28(3):354-6. doi: 10.1007/s00261-002-0057-8.

Abstract

Most bronchogenic cysts occur in the mediastinum. However, they may be found near any organ derived from the embryonic foregut, even in the extrathoracic region. We report a case of subphrenic bronchogenic cyst that was initially confused with a solid lesion because of its unusual location and atypical appearance on ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
