Congenital Bronchopulmonary-Foregut Malformation

Abstract

The pathological anatomy and clinical features of three cases of pulmonary sequestration with gastrointestinal communication and of 10 cases reported in the literature suggest that extralobar sequestration, intralobar sequestration and the sequestration communicating with the gut share a common embryogenesis and be collectively identified as "congenital bronchopulmonary-foregut malformation."
