Bronchial Carcinoid Tumor Arising from an Intralobar Bronchopulmonary Sequestration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a rare case of a 38-year-old woman with a bronchial carcinoid tumor arising from an intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration. The vascular supply to the sequestered left lower lobe originated from the descending thoracic aorta. A left lower lobe lobectomy was performed. The findings of the pathological examination revealed an atypical carcinoid tumor that was immunopositive for chromogranin and synaptophysin. At the 3-year follow-up examination, the patient was healthy.

Surgical resection in mmspected intralobar sequestration can result in fatal hemorrhagic complications. The roentgen criteria for establishing tbis diagnosis are: 1) chronic and recurrent pulmonary Wtrate; 2) most often located in b a s k segments of the lower lobes; 3) multiple cystic areas; 4) failure of contrast media to enter the cystic area during broncbography. We studied two cases of int...
متن کاملIntralobar Pulmonary Sequestration Masquerading as Lung Abscess: A Rare Paediatric Presentation
Pulmonary sequestration refers to lack of normal airway connection and aberrant vascular supply, and it may be either intralobar or extralobar. Bronchial atresia involving the lower lobes, especially the left lower lobe, is often associated with aberrant systemic arterial connection, forming an “intralobar sequestration” in which a region of parenchyma is functionally isolated from the remainde...

Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital anomaly characterised by a mass of non-functional, dysplastic lung parenchyma that docs not communicate with the normal tracheobronchial tree. Such an anomaly commonly receives its blood supply from the systemic circulation. The sequestered pulmonary segment is considered to be intralobar if it is enclosed within the common pleura enveloping the...

Broncho-pulmonary sequestration is a rare anomaly which represents 0.156.4% of all pulmonary malformations.(1, 2) It is defined as the presence of non-functioning lung tissue that is separate from the bronchial system and is supplied by an aberrant artery originating from the aorta or one of its branches (1, 2). Bronchopulmonary sequestration is divided into two types: Intralobar; which shares ...
