Coexistence of Bronchial Atresia and Bronchogenic Cyst: A Case of Report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

We report very rare case of concurrent bronchial atresia and bronchogenic cyst. Morphologic apical segment of right upper lobe directly stemmed from right main bronchus. Bronchogenic cyst was communicating with atretic segmental bronchus and both were filled with mucus. The etiology is not well known, however it is likely that a single insult arround the 5th~6th week causes both malformations.
