Due to its low incidence, there are limited reports regarding this condition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>Four retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts near the left adrenal gland were identified without accompanying clinical symptoms. One case was misdiagnosed as an adrenal tumor prior to surgery, while the others were diagnosed as retroperitoneal cysts of uncertain origin. All cases underwent surgical resection, with three being performed laparoscopically and one utilizing robot-assisted techniques. Pathological reports confirmed the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst in each instance. The prognosis was favorable for all four patients, with no complications or recurrences observed. Additionally, a literature review was conducted, encompassing 82 cases, which revealed similar characteristics and radiological manifestations in the majority of cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts are rare developmental malformations lacking distinctive clinical and radiological features, reported cases exhibit similarities in certain clinical and imaging characteristics. This report offers additional insights into the diagnosis and management of this rare disease. Future reports are essential to enhance understanding of this disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fonc.2024.1406270","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,31]],"date-time":"2024-10-31T06:10:18Z","timestamp":1730355018000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst: a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Bohao","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiantian","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiyuan","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yitong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.96.09102017","article-title":"Bronchogenic cysts: clinicopathological presentation and treatment","volume":"9","author":"Aktogu","year":"1996","journal-title":"Eur Respir J"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-5876(00)00412-2","article-title":"Congenital cervical bronchogenic cyst","volume":"57","author":"Pujary","year":"2001","journal-title":"Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/15513819409024254","article-title":"Cutaneous bronchogenic cyst of the back: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"14","author":"Tresser","year":"1994","journal-title":"Pediatr Pathol"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10790268.2017.1279816","article-title":"Intraspinal bronchogenic cyst: Series of case reports and literature review","volume":"40","author":"Ma","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Spinal Cord Med"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/children9121824","article-title":"Clinical presentation and surgical management of five pediatric cases with bronchogenic cysts: retrospective case series","volume":"9","author":"Asseri","year":"2022","journal-title":"Children (Basel)"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1007\/s13139-014-0306-0","article-title":"Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst presenting paraadrenal tumor incidentally detected by (18)F-FDG PET\/CT","volume":"49","author":"Yoon","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nucl Med Mol Imaging"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00739965","article-title":"Bronchogenic cyst in the abdomen","volume":"408","author":"Sumiyoshi","year":"1985","journal-title":"Virchows Arch A Pathol Anat Histopathol"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.245045017","article-title":"Retroperitoneal cystic masses: CT, clinical, and pathologic findings and literature review","volume":"24","author":"Yang","year":"2004","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2008-1071064","article-title":"Isolate abdominal bronchogenic cyst: a case report","volume":"7","author":"Cetinkursun","year":"1997","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"347","DOI":"10.1186\/s12893-021-01341-w","article-title":"Ectopic bronchogenic cyst in the retroperitoneal region: a case report and literature review of adult patients","volume":"21","author":"Yuan","year":"2021","journal-title":"BMC Surg"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2478\/pjs-2013-0108","article-title":"Retroperitoneoscopic and laparoscopic removal of periadrenally located bronchogenic cysts\u2013a systematic review","volume":"85","author":"Jannasch","year":"2013","journal-title":"Pol Przegl Chir"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000030534","article-title":"Bronchogenic cyst.
