[...]. Water-Attenuation Bronchogenic Cyst. CTICases. Published February 1, 2019. https://cticases.com/c/za3k7
Imaging findings
Chest CT shows a well-circumscribed, homogeneous middle mediastinal/subcarinal mass with water attenuation (-7 Hounsfield units), consistent with a bronchogenic cyst.
Key takeaways
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital foregut anomalies. Although they typically have high attenuation due to proteinaceous/mucinous fluid, they can occasionally present with pure water attenuation.
