Association of three different congenital malformations in a same pulmonary lobe in a 5‐year‐old girl

We report the case of a 5‐year‐old girl with persistent chest X‐ray abnormalities following an episode of pneumonia who has a complex congenital pulmonary malformation comprising of a congenital pulmonary airway malformation, an intralobar sequestration and two bronchogenic cysts, all present within the same lobe. The observation suggests a common embryological origin of these malformations. Pediatr. Pulmonol. 2010; 45:832–835. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
