Segmental cystic malformation of the lung with chondrolipomatous component.

摘要

A peculiar cystic and chondrolipomatous malformation affecting the right upper lobe of the lung as presented in a 10-year-old girl with a history of recurrent pneumonia and pneumothorax is reported. The lesion combined bronchial-type cavities with intervening stroma containing adipose tissue, with cartilage nodules of different sizes. The findings do not fit with any already-known malformations of the lung.
