Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts can arise either in the mediastinum or in the lung parenchyma. On both CT and T1 -weighted MR images, the cyst contents can show a variable signal characteristics. However, on T2-weighted MR images, the cyst show high signal intensity. Although unusual, the cyst may communicate with the tracheobronchial tree and demonstrate partial or complete air content. With hemorrhage, fluid-fluid levels can also be seen within the cyst. Pathologically, the diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst rests on demonstration of tissues normally found in the tracheobronchial tree within the cyst wall.
