Being considered as an uncommon congenital anomaly, pulmonary bronchogenic cyst requires surgical treatment due to its rarity and mortality especially in complicated forms. In the present paper, we are presenting a case report of a giant pulmonary bronchogenic cyst (18 cm × 15 cm × 10 cm) misdiagnosed with loculated pleural effusion. Because of unsuccessful treatment of tube thoracostomy, the patient was scheduled for left thoracotomy. Later giant pulmonary cyst was removed completely without any complications. Histopathology studies revealed a giant bronchogenic cyst with abscess formation.
被认为是一种罕见的先天性异常，肺支气管源性囊肿因其罕见性和死亡率而需要手术治疗，尤其是在复杂的情况下。在本文中，我们报告了一例误诊为局限性胸腔积液的巨大肺支气管源性囊肿（18 cm×15 cm×10 cm）的病例。由于胸腔引流管治疗失败，患者接受了左开胸手术。随后完全切除了巨大的肺囊肿，没有任何并发症。组织病理学研究显示为伴有脓肿形成的巨大支气管源性囊肿。
