Extralobar Pulmonary Sequestration With Bronchogenic Cyst

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital pulmonary malformation. Systemic blood supply is normally coming from the thoracic aorta while venous drainage is achieved through systemic pulmonary vessels. A healthy, asymptomatic 20 year-old male was admitted to our hospital for an evaluation of a left sided mass. Chest roentgenograms, a chest tomography, a bronchoscopy, thoracic magnetic resonance imaging and an aortagraphy were performed. Based on these the following diagnosis was made: that the lesion on the left lower lobe was an extralobar pulmonary sequestration and the lesion on the left upper lobe was a cyst. The patient underwent thoracotomy. We performed a sequestrectomy and cystotomy. The postoperative period was uneventful.
