Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations of the tracheobronchial tree that are mainly located in the lungs and mediastinum. Occasionally, they can appear in the neck, generating a cervical mass. They are rarely diagnosed in the adult population. We present the case of a 30-years-old male that consulted for an asymptomatic central cervical mass. On examination, a 4 cm diameter painless suprasternal nodule was palpated. Cervical ultrasound and magnetic resonance showed a cystic lesion. The cyst was completely excised surgically and the pathological report disclosed a bronchogenic cyst. The embriology, clinical presentation, radiologic images, diferential diagnosis and tratment of this patholy, are discussed
