Intrapericardial extralobar pulmonary sequestration in adult

Ann Thorac Surg. 2013 Mar;95(3):1093-6. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2012.07.082.

Abstract

Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital pulmonary malformation compared with its counterpart, intralobar pulmonary sequestration, and occurs less in females. Here we describe a 24-year-old woman who underwent a median sternotomy for resection of an intrapericardial extralobar pulmonary sequestration. At her month follow-up visit, she had recovered well with no complications.
