Case report: Pulmonary sequestration in an adult
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation that is uncommonly diagnosed during adulthood. Pulmonary sequestrations can manifest with variable presentations. It can remain asymptomatic or present with more severe symptoms such as hemoptysis and recurrent pneumonia. Diagnosis can be confirmed with computed tomography angiogram or angiography. Treatment with embolization of the afferent artery and surgical removal of the pulmonary sequestration generally has good outcomes. We report a case of a 43-year-old man who presented with recurrent pneumonia and left-sided back pain and was eventually diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration.

متن کاملIntradiaphragmatic 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...
متن کاملAdult-Onset Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation in Combination with Intralobar Bronchopulmonary Sequestration: a case report
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) and bronchopulmonary sequestration are congenital lung lesions. They are classified as separate entities. Each of them has distinct embryology, pathology, and natural history. However there are some commonalities between them. CCAM may have a pulmonary artery supply, or be supplied like a sequestration from the aorta, and histological features o...

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by the presence of nonfunctional parenchymal lung tissue, receiving systemic arterial blood supply and lacking normal communication with tracheobronchial tree. Recurrent pneumonia and massive hemoptysis are life threatening complications associated with it. Delay in the diagnosis and management can be fatal. We r...
