| Title | Extralobar Pulmonary Sequestration With Hemorrhagic Infarction in an Adult. | | Author(s) | Chun EJ, Goo JM, Lee HJ, Lee CH, Im JG | | Institution | Department of Radiology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, and the Institute of Radiation Medicine, SNUMRC, Seoul, Korea. | | Source | J Thorac Imaging 2007 May; 22(2):166-168. | | Abstract | Symptomatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration in adults is thought to be extremely rare. We present a case of an extralobar pulmonary sequestration, with infarct, in a 28-year-old woman who complained abrupt onset of chest pain. Chest computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass in the left paraspinal area, medial to the left lower lobe, and serial chest radiographs revealed increasing pleural effusion. This was histopathologically confirmed to be a hemorrhagic infarct of the extralobar pulmonary sequestration. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
