Abstract
Here, we describe two cases of cervical bronchogenic cysts mimicking thyroid cancer on ultrasound (US), introducing some sources of diagnostic error with the aim of improving the understanding of cervical bronchogenic cysts. In these cases, US demonstrated ill-defined nonhomogeneous hypoechoic nodules at the inferior pole of the thyroid gland, exhibiting several echogenic foci that mimicked microcalcification of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Although cervical bronchogenic cysts can be presented as highly suspicious thyroid nodules on US, recognition of this disease entity and comprehensive understanding of its presentation can allow an appropriate diagnostic process without unnecessary diagnostic surgery. Key words: Bronchogenic cyst ã Diagnosis ã Papillary thyroid carcinoma ã Thyroid nodule
