Bronchogenic cyst causing a unilateral ventilation-perfusion defect on lung scan

KA Berkowitz, JK Fleischman and RL Smith
Pulmonary Section, New York Veterans Administration Medical Center, New York 10010.

A 37-year-old woman had pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, and normal findings on chest roentgenogram. Lung scan showed markedly diminished perfusion to the right lung with a matched ventilatory defect. Further evaluation revealed a bronchogenic cyst. After resection, the lung scan was normal. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a bronchogenic cyst causing a reversible, unilateral ventilation- perfusion defect on lung scan.
