Two Patients with Ectopic Bronchogenic Cyst Misdiagnosed as Cervical Lymphangioma in Infants and Young Children
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,causes of misdiagnosis and preventive measures of cervical bronchogenic cysts in the infants and young children.Methods The clinical data of 2 young patients with cervical bronchogenic cysts misdiagnosed as cervical lymphangioma in infants and children from May 2020 to July 2023 were retrospec-tively analyzed.Results The two infants were admitted to hospital for the first time due to cervical mass.They were misdiag-nosed as cervical lymphangioma and underwent sclerosing agent injection for lymphangioma.Due to incomplete regression of the cervical mass,resection of the cervical mass was performed after re-admission,and the postoperative pathological examina-tion confirmed the cervical bronchogenic cyst.To date,all the children recovered well.Conclusion Although cervical bron-chogenic cysts are rare in clinical practice and cervical lymphangioma is relatively more common,the possibility of this disease should be considered when neonates presented with cervical mass.Especially when there are doubts about the results of diagnostic puncture,further imaging examination,careful physical examination and comprehensive analysis are needed to avoid misdiagnosis.
