Bronchogenic cysts are generally detected in the mediastinum, along the tracheobronchial tree, or in the lung parenchyma. Subcutaneous presternal bronchogenic cysts have been rarely described, and they are usually of small size (<3 cm) and reported in children. We report a case of giant presternal subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst in a 20-year-old man. Presternal subcutaneous bronchogenic cysts, despite their rarity, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all subcutaneous cystic masses, independent of their size and the patient's age.
支气管源性囊肿通常在纵隔、沿气管支气管树或肺实质中被发现。胸骨前皮下支气管源性囊肿很少被描述，它们通常体积较小（<3厘米），且多见于儿童。我们报告一例20岁男性的巨大胸骨前皮下支气管源性囊肿。胸骨前皮下支气管源性囊肿尽管罕见，但在所有皮下囊性肿块的鉴别诊断中都应予以考虑，无论其大小及患者年龄。
