Abstract

Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts are rare and those located in the diaphragm are exceptional. We describe an additional case of bronchogenic cyst of the left crus of diaphragm. Diagnosis of a diaphragmatic lesion was confirmed during laparotomy and complete resection was successful. Final diagnosis was done on pathology.
