Abstract
Five patients with bronchogenic cysts involving the esophagus are described. The symptoms in the 4 adult patients ranged from intermittent dysphagia to nonspecific chest pain and backache. In the one pediatric patient severe wheezing due to bronchial compression was present. The appearance ranged from large extrinsic pressure defects to small intramural, extramucosal type lesions demonstrated only on barium swallow.
