Abstract:
A 23-year-old female was referred to us for an abnormal shadow at the right pulmonary hilum on chest X-ray film. CT scan of the thorax showed a cystic lesion measuring 4 x 3.5 cm with an air-fluid level in S3 of the right upper lobe. We performed video-assisted thoracoscopic S3 segmentectomy for this cyst. The pathological diagnosis was intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst lined ciliated epithelium and contained bronchial glands, cartilage and smooth muscle.
