چکیده
There are many varieties of cysts of the lung which may contain air, but in this paper it is not intended to deal with them all. Qnly five types, which have some clinical relationship to each other, will be considered. They are (1) bronchogenic cysts, (2) post-infective cysts, (3) infantile tension cysts, (4) anepithelial cysts, and (5) emphysematous cysts. The cases have been collected from several separate thoracic surgical units, and hence their treatment has been predominantly surgical. This would not have been the case had the source of material been wider.
