Retroperitoneal bronchial sequestration, a rare lung malformation, can cause flank pain. This case highlights its diagnosis and surgical management in a patient presenting with suprarenal mass and flank pain.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pulmonology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Flank pain is a common urological symptom with diverse etiologies.
  • Retroperitoneal bronchial sequestration is an uncommon congenital lung malformation.
  • This condition is typically an incidental finding, rarely presenting with symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old woman presented with left flank pain.
  • CT imaging revealed a 5 cm suprarenal mass.
  • Surgical exploration identified the mass as a pulmonary sequestration.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed pulmonary sequestration.
  • The flank pain was attributed to mucus retention within the sequestration.
  • This represents a rare symptomatic presentation of a suprarenal mass.

Implications:

  • Retroperitoneal bronchial sequestration should be considered in the differential diagnosis of suprarenal masses, especially in patients with unexplained flank pain.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention can alleviate symptoms.
  • Further research into rare causes of flank pain and suprarenal masses is warranted.
