[Pulmonary sequestrum--not infiltrate--in a 45-year-old woman].

A 45-year-old woman presented at the emergency room with acute dyspnoea and slight fever, without coughing. The chest radiography showed a consolidation in the lower left lobe. The CT scan revealed a consolidation in the posterior-basal segment of the lower left lobe without an air bronchogram but with various densities. Based on these findings, the possibility of pulmonary sequestration was considered. A CT scan showed an arterial branch arising from the aorta that supplied the consolidation, confirming pulmonary sequestration. The patient underwent resection of the intralobar sequestrum, after which she recovered and was asymptomatic. Pulmonary sequestration should be considered in any patient with pneumonia or recurrent pneumonia in the lower lobes of the lung, especially in the absence of an air bronchogram or signs of endobronchial obstruction. The treatment ofchoice is surgical resection.

The association of cystic nephroma with pulmonary sequestration: is it a coincidence or not?

Cystic nephroma (CN) is a rare, presumably benign, multilocular cystic renal tumor. Pulmonary sequestration (PS) also presents as cystic masses of non-functioning primitive lung tissue. We describe a 15-month-old girl with CN and PS. Although some rare associations of renal and pulmonary lesions have been reported, this is the first case report in the English literature that shows the association of CN with PS.
