A 32-year-old female productive cough and recurrent pneumonia was found to have large complex intrapulmonary lobe an infected pulmonary sequestration. She placed on antibiotics, underwent chest tube placement for drainage abscess, subsequently, she had lobectomy. ...

Pulmonary sequestration is a type of bronchopulmonary malformation defined as an isolated portion of lung tissue with systemic arterial supply and no bronchial communication. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) has been used for diagnosis and follow-up of gastrointestinal tumors. The current study presents a rare case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with the marked elevation of ...

as an area of nonfunctioning abnormal lung tissue which receives its blood supply from a systemic artery and characteristically has no connection with the tracheobronchial tree.2 About 70 percent of all the reported cases are of the intralobar variety.' The abnormal lung tissue in the intralobar type is located within the visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe, whereas the extralobar form is like ...

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS), a congenital malformation that usually presents as a chest mass in childhood, may be identified by its characteristic primary derivation of pulmonary blood supply from the systemic circulation. Five children with BPS were evaluated by radionuclide angiography from 1970 to 1974. In each instance the systemic origin of the vascular supply was correctly indica...

A child with coexisting mediastinal bronchogenic cyst and extralobar pulmonary sequestration is presented. Two distinct lesions were suggested by barium esophagram and confirmed by a chest computed tomography scan. The diagnostic and embryologic relationship of the two lesions is discussed.

We report a case of a lady who presented with epigastric discomfort. Physical examination revealed a large left upper quadrant mass filling the left upper quadrant. Following extensive preoperative evaluation, she underwent resection of this 9 × 10 × 11 centimeter mass with en bloc excision of a portion of the left hemidiaphragm.

OBJECTIVE Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is an uncommon congenital disease. Symptoms when present are usually secondary to pyogenic infection. Our objective was to draw attention on superimposed fungal infection. METHODS During the last 20 years, we operated upon 19 intralobar PS. Four of six patients operated during the last decade proved to have intralobar PS containing Aspergillus. RESULTS...
