Extralobar pulmonary sequestration in two pinniped species

Extralobar pulmonary sequestration in two pinniped species

Two cases of extralobar pulmonary sequestrations from a walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) and a Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) are described in the present study. Grossly, an independent, soft unilocular cystic mass was found within the abdominal cavities of both animals, adherent to the diaphragm in O. rosmarus and attached to the cardia of the stomach in E. jubatus. Histopathologically, the c...

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 ...

Extralobar pulmonary sequestration.

Tissues of bronchopulmonary origin, which have no communication with the bronchial tree and are supplied by anomalous vessels, are relatively rare and have been referred to by a variety of terms. These include accessory lung, sequestrated lobe of lung, ectopic lobe of lung, dissociated or dislocated lobe, aberrant lobe, or supernumerary lobe. The term 'sequestrated lobe' may not be entirely app...

Intradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration in adult

Extralobar pulmonary sequestrations may be located in intrathoracic or extrathoracic areas. Extrathoracic intradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestrations are an extremely rare subset of bronchopulmonary sequestrations and there have been very few reported cases until now. We describe a 48-year-old Korean woman found to have left peridiaphragmatic lesion on computed tomography. We perform...
