[Clinical observations on 2 cases of congenital pulmonary malformation]

The present paper reports on two cases of congenital malformation of the lungs, in young adults, treated surgically. Each case had particular clinical features: left pulmonary aplasia with residual thymus and herniation of the right lung in the left pleural cavity in one case, and left pulmonary hypoplasia with aberrant pulmonary circulation, secondary cystic bronchiectasia, serofibrinous pleurisy. The necessity of an early diagnosis and surgical treatment is emphasized.
