Bronchogenic cyst remains a rare etiology of cervical mediastinal masses for which imaging plays a role in lesion characterization. There are many etiologies of cervical masses, and in most cases a rigorous semiological analysis will allow us to determine the etiology and to orientate the therapeutic management. We report in this article the case of a cervico-mediastinal bronchogenic cyst in a 56 year old female patient revealed by a fairly well limited cystic cervical mass on ultrasound, the lower edge of which is embedded in the upper orifice of the thorax, with a liquid-like cervico- mediastinal opacity pushing back the trachea; represented by a mass of liquid density not enhanced after injection of the PDC on the CT scan of cervico-mediastinal location pushing back the vascular axes and the elements of the mediastinum The treatment consisted of a total exeresis of the lesion and an anatomopathological study revealed a bronchogenic cyst; The postoperative course was without particularities.
