Extralobar pulmonary sequestration: a case report

[Extralobar pulmonary sequestration. A case report].

We described the case of a 36-year-old Turkish female with an extralobar pulmonary sequestration who suffered from chest and back pain for five years without any evidence of pulmonary infection. A chest X-ray showed an area of opacity behind the cardiac silhouette in the lower area of the left hemithorax. A CT scan of the thorax with intravenous contrast showed a 9 x 7 cm in size ovoid mass wit...

Infected Infradiaphragmatic Retroperitoneal Extralobar Pulmonary Sequestration: A Case Report

Infradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration is an extremely rare congenital malformation. It is more frequently diagnosed in the antenatal period due to routine ultrasonic examination of the fetus or in the first 6 months of life, though on rare occasions it is discovered incidentally in adults. A 32-yr-old man presenting with epigastric discomfort and fever was referred. Computed tom...

A Case of Intrapericardial Extralobar Pulmonary Sequestration

Extralobar pulmonary sequestration. An autopsy case

We encountered at forensic autopsy a rare anomalous case of extralobar pulmonary sequestration in the thorax. The anomalous tissue had its own visceral pleura and was located under the lower lobe of the lung in the left thoracic cavity of a 34-year-old male victim. It had no vascular or airway connection to the normal lung. However, it had vascular branches from the thoracic aorta and hemiazygo...

Extralobar pulmonary sequestration

Prevalence of pulmonary sequestration accounts for up to 6.4% of all congenital pulmonary malformations. We report on a 40-year-old woman who underwent excision of an aberrant solid retroperitoneal mass in the left subdiaphragmatic area. The mass was identified to be an extralobar pulmonary sequestration. The diagnosis could be made without surgery by percutaneous tissue biopsy and imaging. We ...
