Abstract
Bronchogenic cyst (BC) is a rare congenital disease with pre-embryonic intestinal malformation. BC of the stomach is rare. The present study reported on the case of a 68-year-old male who presented with a spleen and stomach space mass detected incidentally upon a routine health examination. The patient underwent laparotomy. Postoperative histopathological diagnosis confirmed BC of the stomach. Postoperative recovery was smooth and the patient is currently under follow-up. A literature review suggested that BC is a rare disease and the location of the stomach is very rare. Indications of surgical intervention remain controversial for asymptomatic cases. Owing to no specific clinical or radiologic features to define the disease profile for diagnosis, surgery may be a good choice for both diagnosis and therapy if the patient's condition permits.
