Abstract

Two cases of esophageal duplication cyst associated with pulmonary cystic malformations (cystic bronchiectasis with pneumonia in one, intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts with bronchial atresia in the other) are reported. The coexistence of these complex anomalies supports the recognition that esophageal duplication cyst also is an entity of a broad spectrum of developmental abnormalities caused by abnormal budding of the primitive foregut. Nine cases of similar complex anomalies in the lung and esophagus have been reported. Although rare, this malformation complex should be borne in mind in the treatment of pediatric mediastinal and pulmonary malformations.
