Korean J Intern Med. 1991 Jul;6(2):85-9. doi: 10.3904/kjim.1991.6.2.85.

Abstract

Extralobar pulmonary sequestration, known as accessory lung, is a rare congenital anomaly and intrapericardial lung sequestration is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only four reported cases were intrapericardial. We report a case with intrapericardial extralobar pulmonary sequestration confirmed by operation and morphologic basis.
