A case of a congenital ‘bronchogenic’ cyst of the skin over the right scapula of a 4‐year‐old boy is reported. The continuity of its epithelial lining with the epidermis and its appendages is stressed and the consequences of this relationship for current theories about the pathogenesis of cutaneous ciliated cysts are discussed.
