Plain-English summary
A German shepherd was brought in for evaluation of a lung issue after a vet found a suspicious area in the dog's chest. A special imaging test called a CT scan revealed a rounded cyst in the left lung that was connected to the bronchial tubes. This type of cyst, known as a bronchogenic cyst, is a rare condition. The dog will need ongoing monitoring, but the findings help the vet understand the situation better.

Abstract
A German shepherd dog was referred for further evaluation of a cavitary pulmonary lesion. Computed tomography identified a well-defined rounded radiolucent area in the left cranial lung lobe in continuity with the bronchial lumen. These findings were consistent with a bronchogenic cyst.
