Case report - Thoracic non-oncologic Extralobar pulmonary sequestration presenting as hemothorax

Symptomatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration (EPS) is extremely rare. Herein, we report two male patients (3 and 16 years of age) with EPS presenting as hemothorax. Thoracotomic resections of the sequestrated lungs were uneventful. Pathologic examinations revealed hemothorax caused by circulatory disorders within the EPSs. 2009 Published by European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery. All rights reserved.
