  • A baby was diagnosed with esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) on the next day after birth, and end-to-end anastomosis of esophagus with TEF ligation was performed. The distance between proximal and distal esophageal pouch was checked as 3 vertebral body lengths and a 1 cm-sized bronchogenic cyst (BC) was identified near carina on the right side, just below the proximal esophageal pouch. This case report described the baby who have a BC was located between the both esophageal pouch and a longer esophageal gap than usual EA with distal TEF.

Infantogram shows coiling of the feeding tube, suggesting esophageal atresia (black arrowheads). Patchy opacity in the right lower lung is observed (white arrow).

(A) Operative findings that a bronchogenic cyst (white arrowheads) at the right paratracheal area and distal esophageal fistula (white arrow) were identified. (B) Mimetic diagram of operative findings.

Pathologic findings of cystic mass were consistent with bronchogenic cyst (H&E). (A, B) Histological photographs show fibromuscular walls (A: ×10, B: ×40). (C) The cyst wall is lined by respiratory epithelium (ciliated psuedostratified columnar epithelium) (×100). (D) The cyst wall contains seromucinous bronchial glands (×100).
