INFO/WWW: Bronchogenic csyts are thin-walled cystic structures, having a lining of respiratory epithelium and containing mucoid material. Sometimes there is connection to the tracheobronchial tree. Bronchogenic cysts are usually located near the trachea or main bronchi. Patients with bronchogenic cysts are ususally asymptomatic. But hemoptysis, infections, or rupture into the trachea, lung, esophagus or pleural space may occur; large proximal cysts occasionally compress major airways or blood vessels.

D: Right-sided hilar bronchogenic cyst with an air-fluid level as evidence for infection.
