“…In some adults, ELS may occur in an unusual mediastinal location, which might be suspected to be malignancy [1]. PET/CT examination showed moderate SUV elevation in a part of the lesion which depended on chronic inflammation in our case and which was initially considered as a malignant degeneration.…”

Extralobar sequestration with other bronchopulmonary malformations is commonly seen; however, the association of extralobar sequestration with renal aplasia is very rare. A 75-year-old female patient was admitted with back pain. Ultrasonography revealed aplasia of the left kidney and tomography showed 6 × 4.5 cm sized tumor in the left hemithorax at the posterobasal area. The lesion has focally increased glycolytic activity (SUVmax: 3.2) at the left upper pole on positron emission tomography scan (PET/CT). Sequestrectomy was performed after the confirmation by frozen section that the lesion was benign and of extrapulmonary sequestration. No complication occurred during postoperative and 50-month follow-up period.

Rare localized extralobar sequestration with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation: a case report

et al. 2017

Extralobar sequestrations constitute a rare form of congenital pulmonary airway malformations that are difficult to diagnose. Here, we report a rare case of a localized extralobar sequestration in the right superior portion of the mediastinum accompanied by congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation.A 19-year-old man presented with a right upper mediastinal mass that was detected using chest radiography, had a history of left spontaneous pneumothorax, and had undergone a bullectomy 4 years previously.The initial diagnosis included a mature teratoma and a bronchogenic cyst in the mediastinum; however, the presence of a cystic mass in the right upper lobe of the lung prompted further examination. A preoperative diagnosis of extralobular sequestration was finally determined using contrast-enhanced computed tomography. The aberrant artery was connected to the brachiocephalic artery, and its drainage vein was connected to the right pulmonary artery, uniquely behind the pericardium. Despite the unique location, right mediastinal extralobular sequestration with a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation in the right upper lobe was confirmed pathologically. Examination of contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional computed tomography images enabled a correct diagnosis. It is very important for surgeons to correctly diagnose and identify an aberrant artery and drainage vein to prevent uncontrolled hemorrhage.
