Abstract:
Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare pulmonary parenchymal anomaly which rarely may be present in an intra-abdominal location. The authors report a case of intra-abdominal extralobar pulmonary sequestration which presented to us as an antenatally diagnosed suprarenal mass and was worked up as such. The diagnosis was revealed only at laparotomy. Intra-abdominal extralobar pulmonary sequestration should also be kept in differential diagnosis in cases of masses in the suprarenal location, especially on the left side.

01:21External Anatomy of the Kidney
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

01:19Appendicitis
Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the vermiform appendix, most commonly caused by obstruction of its lumen. The appendix is a narrow, blind-ended pouch that extends from the cecum, making it particularly prone to obstruction. Causes include fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia (often after viral infections), parasites, tumors, or foreign bodies. This obstruction initiates a cascade of pathological changes.Luminal Obstruction and Early InflammationAfter obstruction, normal mucosal...
