Intralobar pulmonary sequestration and mediastinal bronchogenic cyst

Thorax. 1994 Jun;49(6):615-6. doi: 10.1136/thx.49.6.615.

Abstract

A patient with a bronchogenic cyst and intralobar pulmonary sequestration is presented. Chest radiography showed a posterior mediastinal mass and a computed tomographic scan of the chest revealed, in addition, an abnormality suggestive of pulmonary sequestration. This was confirmed by an aortogram. It is important to be aware of the coexistence of these anomalies to make a diagnosis preoperatively.
