Ann Thorac Surg. 2016 Feb;101(2):744-6. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2015.03.083.

Abstract

Intracardiac bronchogenic cyst has a rare occurrence. A 41-year-old man was referred to our hospital with intermittent precordial pain. Echocardiography combined with magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left ventricular cyst. The cyst was resected using extracorporeal and cardioplegic arrest. The histopathologic study revealed that it was a bronchogenic cyst.
