Description
Khushboo Jha and three co-authors describe a rare cyst in a girl aged three years. The lump sat over the left shoulder, above the collarbone, far from the chest where such cysts are most often found. These cysts form early in life from odd growth of the windpipe and its branches.
Doctors removed the lump and tests on the tissue showed it was a bronchogenic cyst. Such cysts most often sit in the chest or lungs, so a shoulder site is very rare. The case warns doctors to keep this cause in mind for cyst like lumps in young children, even far from the chest. Removal both confirms the cause and cures the lump in most cases.
