چکیده
A 42-year old woman presented with rheumatoid arthritis, dyspnoea and a congenital foregut cyst referred by a rheumatologist for thoracic surgery. The cyst was removed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The patient developed acute haemoptysis in the immediate postoperative period, which necessitated pulmonary resection due to infracted right lower lobe. This case report highlights the complication related to an unusual anatomy of a congenital foregut cyst.
