Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a very rare congenital malfomation, especially when it is located in the infradiaphragmatic retroperitoneal space. The patient was a 56-year-old man with no respiratory symptom but had some postprandial epigastric discomfort for several days. Plain chest x-ray revealed mild elevation of left diaphragm and abdominal CT scan showed large cystic retroperitoneal mass with some calcification. We performed the operation through the thorachoabdominal incision and the mass was proven to be a pulmonary sequestration. Therefore, we report the case with review of literatures.
횡격막하 후복막강에 발생한 폐격리증은 매우 드문 선천성 기형으로 증상없이 우연히 발견되는 경우가 많으며 호발부위 위치상 다른 부신옆 종양들과 감별을 요하며 외과적 절제술로 치료된다. 저자들은 국내에서 아직 보고되지 않은 횡격막하 후복막강 폐격리증을 1례 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
