Abstract
Background: Bronchial cysts are congenital malformations usually located in the mediastinum, and intrapulmonary localization is very rare. Cryoablation is a novel therapeutic approach that promotes tumor necrosis and stimulates anti-tumor immune responses.
Case summary: This article reports a case of a 68-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with an intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst by computed tomography examination and pathology, and the patient subsequently underwent cryoablation therapy and achieved complete response with after 3 months of follow-up.
Conclusion: Intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts are very rare, cryoablation therapy is feasible, safe, and effective for intrapulmonary bronchial cysts.
