Abstract

Cutaneous bronchogenic cysts are very rare congenital lesions. Scapular localization is frequently found in the literature. Only the histological analysis can confirm the diagnosis, because no clinical characteristic is pathognomonic. Surgical excision of the lesion is justified by the risk of local infection and discomfort related to the recurrent flow.
