We present an extremely rare case of extralobar pulmonary sequestration in the right upper thoracic region, with a wide tracheal communication and a right subclavian arterial blood supply. The MRI scan suggested a bronchogenic cyst. Although preoperative color Doppler and angiography were not performed, successful resection was carried out. The histology indicated a diagnosis of extralobar pulmonary sequestration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
