“…Differential diagnoses of adult retroperitoneal suprarenal masses containing bronchial epithelium include lesions recently termed ‘bronchopulmonary foregut malformations’, which include sequestrations, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), complex foregut duplication cyst, bronchogenic cyst and oesophageal diverticula 4,6 . Although cases of mixed congenital lesions with both ELS and CCAM features have been reported, 6–8 the present case showed no communication with the bronchial tree, which is not typical of CCAM 6 . Numerous thick‐walled systemic blood vessels favoured the diagnosis of ELS.…”

“…This expression has since been widely used to encompass a variety of malformations, including foregut duplication cysts, esophageal diverticuli, and cystic adenomatoid malformations [1,5]. Lesions have been described in all lobes of the lungs with various blood supplies and in conjunction with several other congenital anomalies [1,4,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In addition, there is a spectrum of laryngotracheal abnormalities that may be associated with tracheoesophageal malformations as well as bronchopulmonary aberrations [16,17].…”

Identical twins concordant for pulmonary sequestration communicating with the esophagus and discordant for the VACTERL association

Communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformations (CBPFMs) are unusual congenital structures composed of a segment of lung tissue connected to the foregut. We present what we believe is the first reported case of identical twins concordant for CBPFM who are discordant for the VACTERL association. Their nonfunctional lung tissue was successfully removed and the fistulae were corrected, and they are expected to live normal life spans. We review the literature concerning these malformations and the proposed theories of their etiology. This case report of concordance in identical twins suggests that a possible genetic component to CBPFMs cannot be ruled out. The discordance for the VACTERL association implies that the etiology is most likely multifactorial.

“…Specimens were pathologically confirmed as bronchopulmonary sequestrations in four cases and a hybrid lesion in one case. Average length of hospital stay was 3.2 days (range [3][4]. No postoperative complications occurred, and all patients were seen in follow-up with no concerns.…”

“…The earliest description of these lesions included cases of pulmonary sequestrations with patent communication to the upper GI tract [1], while subsequent reports have included a variety of congenital anomalies including bronchogenic cysts [2], mixed sequestration/cystic adenomatoid malformations [3], as well as gastrointestinal diverticula and duplication cysts of the foregut [4]. In the largest series to date, Srikanth et al reported on 57 cases and proposed a classification system based upon the occurrence of related defects and the level of the communication [5].…”
