Abstract EN
We report a case of a lady who presented with epigastric discomfort.
Physical examination revealed a large left upper quadrant mass filling the left upper quadrant.
Following extensive preoperative evaluation, she underwent resection of this 9×10×11 centimeter mass with en bloc excision of a portion of the left hemidiaphragm.
She made an uneventful postoperative recovery.
Histopathology revealed a bronchopulmonary foregut malformation with pulmonary sequestration.
This developmental anomaly of the foregut typically occurs in the thoracic cavity; however, it can occur below the diaphragm.
Herein we report a case and a detailed review of the embryology, clinical features, and management of these extremely rare clinical entities.
