ZAPATA-GONZALEZ, Ricardo et al. Adult bronchopulmonary sequestration: report of three cases and review of the literature. CES Med. [online]. 2018, vol.32, n.2, pp.150-158. ISSN 0120-8705.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesmedicina.32.2.8.

Pulmonary sequestration is an infrequent congenital disease characterized by the presence of a portion of pulmonary parenchyma that receives vascularization independent of the systemic circulation. We present three cases of intralobar pulmonary sequestration of late presentation, one of them associated with a cystic adenomatous malformation and in which the management was completed by videothoracoscopy: two of them with total lobectomy and the other with sublobar lobectomy. It is a disease of variable clinical presentation and whose treatment is, in most cases, surgical, usually requiring lobar resections, which can be carried out effectively and safely by video-assisted thoracoscopy.

Keywords : Bronchopulmonary sequestration; Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS); Cystic lung lesions; Congenital lung lesions.
