Multicystic Pulmonary Parenchymal Lesions in a Young Adult with Hemoptysis

Bronchogenic cysts are commonly located in the mediastinum or lung parenchyma, and arise from the abnormal budding of the primitive tracheobronchial tube. Cough and pain are the most common symptoms. Bronchogenic cysts appear as spherical or oval masses with smooth outlines and are usually unilocular and noncalcified. We report a young adult with a bronchogenic cyst presenting as multicystic pulmonary parenchymal lesions. This case is very unusual because a multicystic intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst is very rare in adults. (Tuberc Respir Dis 2007; 62: 71-73)
