A biochemical study revealed no functionality. Intraoperatively we noticed an adrenal gland-dependent mass cystic area sebaceous content histological examination confirmed bronchogenic cyst.The majority cases BCs asymptomatic. They intrapulmonary, mediastinal or ectopic, being left region most common retroperitoneal location.
