Core Tip
Core Tip: Skin bronchogenic cysts are a rare disease with low incidence, which is easy to be misdiagnosed. We have reported a case of bronchogenic cysts with infection in the frontal chest wall of a 64-year-old patient. Pain-accompanied secretions appeared in the patient’s frontal thoracic wall. Combined with color Doppler ultrasound examinations and cytological puncture examinations, we suggest that skin cysts with infections had been present before surgery. The diagnosis of skin bronchogenic cysts was confirmed by the final pathological results obtained after resection. We emphasize that the diagnosis of skin bronchogenic cysts needs to be corroborated by a variety of methods. The detailed diagnostic process and successful treatment of the case reported here are highly valuable for the treatment of bronchogenic cysts with infection.
