Bronchogenic cysts are congenital cystic lesions of foregut origin, usually intra-pulmonary or mediastinal in location. Peri-oesophageal bronchogenic cysts are rare, while intra-oesophageal cysts are almost always considered as enterogenous owing to their location and their composition. We report here an unusual case of a young adult with an intramural bronchogenic cyst causing dysphagia. Despite the fact that the cyst was completely embedded in the oesophageal wall, the pathological findings revealed the respiratory origin of the cyst. An extramucosal excision of the cyst was performed establishing the diagnosis and alleviating all our patient's symptoms.
支气管源性囊肿是起源于前肠的先天性囊性病变，通常位于肺内或纵隔。食管周围支气管源性囊肿罕见，而食管内囊肿因其位置和组成几乎总是被认为是肠源性的。我们在此报告一例年轻成人的罕见病例，其壁内支气管源性囊肿导致吞咽困难。尽管囊肿完全嵌入食管壁，但病理检查结果显示囊肿起源于呼吸道。对囊肿进行了黏膜外切除，明确了诊断并缓解了患者的所有症状。
