Abstract
A 29 year old women was found to have a chest mass as part of routine screening with a chest x-ray for an unrelated neurosurgical procedure, Further investigation with a chest CT raised the suspicion of a Para vertebral neurogenic tumor. The patient underwent bronchoscopy and resection of the lesion by Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS). The diagnosis of Bronchogenic Cyst was established after histopathology examination of the resected tumor. Bronchogenic Cysts are relatively rare primary mediastinal tumors. The Para vertebral site is an unusual presentation for these tumors.
