This is a case report of extralobar pulmonary sequestration with bronchogenic cyst located in aorto-pulmonary window area of left thorax in a 17 months old male patient. In this case, a bronchogenic cyst was presented immediately adjacent to the extralobar pulmonary sequestration. Communication between the extralobar pulmonary sequestration and bronchogenic cyst was not seen grossly or microscopically. The lesion was simply excised and the postoperatively course was uneventful.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation and Extralobar Pulmonary sequestration are very rare congenital anomalies. We experienced a 4 year-old female patient who had Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation in her lower lobe of left lung. We accidently found extralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation at operation field. The resection of the left lower lobe and the extralobar pulmonary sequestration were performed. The arterial supply of the extralobar pulmonary sequestration was one anomalous artery arised from the thoracic aorta. The Venous drainage of expralobar pulmonary sequestration was intercostal vein into the azygous vein. The patient was discharged without any problem.

Pulmonary sequestration is an unusual congenital malformation characterized by the presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue which usually has no communication with the normal bronchial tree and receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. Extralobar form is a very rare congenital malformation. We have experienced a 54 year old female patient with a mass in the upper lobe complaining of cough and blood tinged sputum. A triangular shaped mass was located in the left upper lobe, medially. The arterial blood supply were from the thoracic aorta and the pulmonary artery but there was no the tracheobronchial communication. The venous drainage was through the pulmonary vein. The mass was confirmed as extralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with a pericardial defect.

Pulmonary sequestration is an abnormal lung tissue that does not communicate with tracheobronchial tree, and that receives blood supply from anomalous arteries. Pulmonary sequestration is divided into two anatomical forms, intralobar and extralobar. Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is usually located between the diaphragm and the lower lobe and has systemic arterial supply and venous drainage, and most patients are diagnosed in their infancy. We report an extralobar pulmonary sequestration located between the right upper lobe and the lower lobe in a 48-year-old female adult, which has anomalous blood supply from the right pulmonary artery and venous drainage directly into the left atrium.

Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital pulmonary malformations characterized by presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue which receives its blood supply mostly from the anomalous systemic arteries. We have experienced a 30 year old male patient with a mediastinal mass complaining of intermittent chest pain, and the mass was histologically confirmed as extralobar pulmonary sequestration. The anomalous blood supply origined from the right pulmonary artery but there was no communication with the tracheobronchial tree. He underwent operation through midsternotomy incision for the purpose of concurrent resection of enlarged thymus noted on chest CT.

A total of 21 patients with pulmonary sequestration who had undergone surgical treatment were reviewed at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery of catholic university medical college from May 1983 through May 1993. The pulmonary sequestration was intralobar in 19 patients, and extralobar in 2 patients. There were 17 woman and 4 man ranging of age from 17 months to 48 years with a mean age of 21.3 years. Clinical manifestations were varied from no symptom[3 cases to recurrent pneumonia[15 cases , and hemoptysis[3 cases . Preoperative diagnosis was correct in only 6 cases[29% of the 21 patients of pulmonary sequestration . The left lower lobe[11 cases is most often affected in intralobar sequestration. The aberrant artery in intralobar sequestration originated in 13 cases[68% of 19 cases from descending aorta. 15 of the 19 patients of intralobar type underwent lobectomy. The extralobar sequestration[2 cases were simply excised. There was no mortality and no complication.

Pulmonary sequestration is applied to the congenital malformation characterized by an area of embryonic lung tissue that derives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. Two cases of pulmonary sequestration were treated at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, college of medicine, Hallym University. One case was extralobar type, associated with the pneumothorax due to rupture of bulla. The other was intralobar type with symptom of massive and recurrent hemoptysis. The supplying arteries of both cases arose from the thoracic aorta. The venous return of the extralobar type was systemic into the hemiazygos vein, and that of the intralobar type was normal into the inferior pulmonary vein. Treatment for the former was resection of the sequestrated lung, and that for the latter was lobectomy of the left lower lobe. With the brief review of literature, we report the cases.

Pulmonary sequestration is an unusual congenital malformation characterized by the presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue which usually has no communication with the normal bronchial tree and receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery. We present a case of extralobar pulmonary sequestration experienced recently. The patient was 13 month old female with a complaint of fever, coughing and tachypnea. Chest film showed large homogeneous opacity in left lower lung field. At operation, a homogeneous mass was located between the left upper lobe and lower lobe, measuring 4X6X5cm in dimension. The aberrant artery was originated from the descending thoracic aorta, 1 cm in length and 3 mm in diameter. After division and ligation of the aberrant artery, sequestrectomy and lingular segmentectomy was done due to abscess formation. The postoperative course was smooth. She was discharged on postoperative thirteenth day.

Pulmonary sequestration Is an unusual congenital malformation characterized by the presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue which usually has no communication with the normal bronchial tree and which receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery instead of a pulmonary arterial branch. Two forms of pulmonary sequestration occur: Intralobar sequestration, in which the abnormal pulmonary tissue is incorporated within the normal lung and shares a common covering of visceral pleura, and extralobar sequestration, in which the abnormal pulmonary tissue is separated from the normal lung and has its own pleural investment. Since 1970, five cases of pulmonary sequestration were operated at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, College of Medicine, Seoul National University. 1. Among five cues, one was male and the others were female. 2. All were intralobar type and involved left lower lobe. 3. There was no operative mortality following left lower lobectomy and ligation of the aberrant artery.

The bronchopulmonary sequestration is a term used to describe an area of embryonic lung tissue supplied by an anomalous systemic artery. Two forms are recognised -extralobar and intralobar- with different clinical presentations. We have experienced a case of aspergillosis within an intralobar sequestration. The patient was 32 year-old female and had no specific complaints. The lung mass containing cystic lesion was found incidentally and confirmed to be intralobar sequestration on the operative field which showed aberrant artery in the inferior pulmonary ligament. The right lower lobectomy was done
