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

Pediatr Pulmonol. 2010 Aug;45(8):832-5. doi: 10.1002/ppul.21068.

Abstract

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.
