“…In this anomaly, one of the bronchi arises from the esophagus. The anomaly is believed to arise from defective lung budding, differentiation, and separation from the foregut associated with a focal mesodermal defect [2]. Srikanth and colleagues [3] have described a classification system for the same, and the case described here falls under group III.…”

“…The embryogenesis proposed by Srikanth et al describes the communication to result from a focal mesodermal defect in the tracheoesophageal groove and the involved portion of lung may be pulled away by the differential elongation of the esophagus, isolating it from the main respiratory tract [2]. There is a strong predilection of this anomaly to occur on the right side due to the proximity of the right main bronchus to the esophagus [2,4,6,7]. Esophageal lung refers to a variant where the entire lung is dysplastic and communicates with the esophagus through its main bronchus.…”

“…Communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) occurs when there is a congenital communication between the lung and foregut because of a focal mesodermal defect [3] , [4] . Srikanth et al.…”

“…When a primitive mainstem bronchus is joined to the esophagus, the anomaly is known as “esophageal lung” [4] , and when only a lobar bronchus arises from the esophagus, the anomaly is called “esophageal bronchus” [5] . Esophageal lung was first described by Keely et al.…”
