Abstract:
[Abstract ] Objective Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a congenital development malformation of the lungs .This study aimed to explore the diagnosis and surgical treatment of PS . Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 18 PS pa-tients (8 males and 10 females, aged 20-68 [42.34 ±14.63] years) treated in our department from September 2009 to September 2014.Medical imaging manifested tumors in 11 cases and cystic lesion in the other 7.All the patients underwent surgical resection . Results The diseased pulmonary lobes were removed for the 17 cases of the intralobar type and local resection was performed for the 1 case of the extralobar type .Fourteen of the cases were confirmed to be PS , 3 misdiagnosed, and 1 case missed at diagnosis .The pa-tients were followed up for 8-18 months after treatment , all recovered without surgery-related complications . Conclusion Pulmona-ry sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of the lungs and the lack of specific clinical manifestations makes it easy to be misdi -agnosed.Surgery is the main strategy for its treatment .
