Retroperitoneal Bronchogenic Cyst : MRI Findings

الملخص EN

The authors describe a case of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst in a 36-year-old female.

She presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

An MRI scan revealed an 8 cm cystic lesion in the left upper retroperitoneum, with intermediate signal on T2-weighted images, high signal on T1 weighted images, and lack of internal enhancement after gadolinium.

After laparoscopic excision, the histology findings were compatible with a bronchogenic cyst, which is extremely uncommon in the retroperitoneum.
