A 24-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with recurrent fever and chest pain. Chest radiography and CT demonstrated a cystic lesion with septa and fluid collection in the left lower lobe. Neither aberrant artery nor fistula to the esophagus was found on either aortography or esophagography. Partial resection of lower lobe was performed with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The cystic lesion was histologically diagnosed as a multilocular cyst because no bronchial cartilage was included in the wall of cyst and there was no aberrant artery found to the lesion. However, the wall of cyst was lined by pseudostratified ciliated epithelium. We concluded that this case was a congenital bronchial cyst based on the clinical findings.
