The authors present a case of an incidental finding of an asymptomatic retrogastricaly localized bronchogenic cyst. In a 3.5 year old boy, abdominal US, which was performed because of constipation complains, revealed a cystic mass. MRI study confirmed the presence of a simple cyst, located in the retrogastric region. The patient underwent laparotomy and the cyst, measuring 3 cm in a diameter, was removed from the omental bursa. During the postoperative period, no complications or symptoms were recorded. Histologicaly, the finding was surprisingly identified as a bronchogenic cyst. Occurence of bronchogenic cysts within the abdominal cavity is reported very rarely in the literature.
