Intradiaphragmatic hybrid lesion in an infant: case report
Section snippets
Case report
A 25-year-old prima gravida was referred to our hospital after an ultrasound (US) examination at 24 weeks' gestation, which showed a cystic lesion of the left lower lung. A 3.660-g female infant was delivered vaginally at term, with normal physical findings. At birth, the patient was initially investigated by a plain chest radiograph, which showed neither cystic lesions nor displacement of the mediastinum. During the first months of life, the patient remained asymptomatic; follow-up chest
Discussion
With widespread use and the development of routine obstetric sonographic screenings, prenatal recognition of congenital lung abnormalities is more and more frequent.
Congenital lung lesions represent a wide array of developmental abnormalities including CCAM, BPS, bronchogenic cysts, and congenital lobar emphysema. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is the most common lesion, with an incidence of 1:25,000 to 1:35,000 live births [4], whereas BPS has an estimated incidence of 0.15% to

Pulmonary sequestration: What the radiologist should know
2021, Clinical ImagingCitation Excerpt :Multidetector CT and MR angiography play a key role for the assessment of the vascular supply of a suspected PS. As mentioned above, the finding of a systemic arterial supply is essential to differentiate PS from other pulmonary conditions, such as CPAMs (especially small cyst ones), which may overlap with PS and share histologic features of it in so-called hybrid lesions [90–94]. Most frequently, ILS has a single arterial supply originating from the descending thoracic aorta (73% of cases) and reaching the lesion after passing through the ipsilateral inferior pulmonary ligament [7,11] (Fig. 5).
