  • Title: Left upper lobe pulmonary sequestration.
    Author: Berna P, das Neves Pereira JC, Coté JF, Riquet M.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2008 May; 7(3):527-8. PubMed ID: 18285395.
    Abstract:
    A 64-year-old non-smoking woman with a left upper lobe mass underwent a wedge resection by video-thoracoscopic approach. Intraoperative frozen section examination was unable to rule out a neoplastic disease and a lobectomy was performed. Microscopic analysis showed a typical pulmonary sequestration pattern including arteries with elastic layers in a systemic fashion. Pulmonary sequestration is a development lung disease: upper lobe location is considered uncommon and much controversy exists concerning this form which may be underrated.
