A CASE REPORT ON CONGENITAL LUNG CYST

Abstract

The bronchiectatic pulmonary cysts are usually considered as the congenital origin. But in many cases of these pulmonary cysts the origin is not definitely determined pathologically due to the pulmonary infections.
Authors reported a case of a nine years old girl whose cyst of the left upper lobe was resected.
The resected specimens were investigated from the histopathological view point. No picture of inflamation was seen and the bronchiectatic cyst was not connected with the main bronchus.
Moreover the expiratory obstructive emphysema was recognized on the left upper lobe.
From above findings it was assumed that the origin of the case was congenital.
