Background: Scapular bronchogenic cyst (SBC) is rare.
Methods: A sinus on a boy's left scapula was excised.
Results: Histopathological analysis showed the epithelium with scattered PAS-positive goblet cells was positive for CEA and CK7.
Conclusion: SBC should be suspected of a superficial scapular skin lesion in children.
