Special attention is needed in the case of thoracic surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All three patients were male, 71, 73, and 76 years old. Preoperative CT showed each had a lobular cystic lesion at the right posterolateral side of trachea in the thoracic outlet 11, 14, and 19 mm in size, respectively, with air density and tracheal communication, leading to a diagnosis of PTACs. An oval cystic lesion, 7 mm in size, was found in one patient at the right lateral side of the upper esophagus with low density and without tracheal communication, leading to a diagnosis of paraesophageal BC. Intraoperative findings of the three PTACs demonstrated a soft bulge from the membranous portion of trachea that was left intact. The BC had an oval elastic structure, mimicking a metastatic lymph node, and was removed with the mediastinal lymph nodes. Histological examination showed ciliated columnar epithelium, confirming a diagnosis of BC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PTACs are associated with increased intraluminal pressure due to chronic lung disease. BCs are congenital anomalies that originate from abnormal budding of the embryonic foregut.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PTACs and BCs need to be considered in preoperative image diagnosis in patients with esophageal cancer.
