Cutaneous bronchogenic cysts (CBC) are rare lesions that originate from the primitive tracheobronchial tree. Lesions that are located subcutaneously over the scapula are the rarest type of cutaneous bronchogenic cyst. This is the 14th case of cutaneous bronchogenic cyst in the literature. In this study, we aimed to investigate those CBC located to the scapular region and review the reported cutaneous bronchogenic cyst cases in the literature.
