Subdiaphragmatic Pulmonary Sequestration: A Case Report With Review of the Literature

Abstract: Pulmonary sequestration is defined as a mass of abnormal lung tissue that does not communicate with the tracheobronchial tree through a normally located bronchus. Most authors classify these sequestrations either as extralobar if the mass is covered by its own pleural investment or intralobar if incorporated within the normal lung without a separate pleural membrane. Sequestrations may communicate with the gastrointestinal tract 1 and are also supplied by an anomalous systemic artery. The vast majority of the … Show more

“…The histological findings in ELS are reported to include dilated bronchial structures lined by ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with underlying fibromuscular tissue, similar to the present case. These bronchial structures can become cystically dilated by mucous secretions, thereby giving the appearance of a multicystic mass 1,3 . Hyaline cartilage plates, alveolar structures and bronchial seromucous glands can also be seen, the latter being found predominantly in this case.…”

“…A broad differential diagnosis for neuroblastoma has been proposed in the literature and includes hemorrhage, 18 subdiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration, 19 a multicystic dysplastic kidney, 20 neurogenic cysts, 21 mesoblastic nephroma, 21 Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, 22 retroperitoneal teratoma, 23 enteric duplication cysts, 24 liver tumors, and splenic cysts. 25 Prenatal sonograms and magnetic resonance images are useful in the differential diagnosis of a neuroblastoma from a mesoblastic nephroma and other neoplasms occurring in the retroperitoneum.…”

“…With respect to extralobar sequestration, it is usually left sided, solid, and seen earlier in gestation, usually in the second trimester, has higher-amplitude echoes, and grows in proportion to the patient. 19 The detection of a systemic feeding vessel is considered diagnostic.…”

“…Sonographically, fetal abdominal PS usually presents as an echogenic, homogeneous mass, with or without cystic components, located just below the diaphragm and preferentially on the left side (Carpentieri et al, 2000;Dhingsa et al, 2003;Laje et al, 2006;McNamara and Levine, 2005). Differential diagnosis includes angioma, duplication cyst, teratoma, adrenal hematoma, renal dysplasia, pheochromocytoma, and neuroblastoma (Carpentieri et al, 2000;McNamara and Levine, 2005).…”

Remarkably, the presence of an arterial vessel on color Doppler flow mapping, branching from the aorta and feeding the mass, is the most distinctive characteristic of intrathoracic PS (Corbett and Humphrey, 2004;Dhingsa et al, 2003;Sepulveda, 2009).…”
