Abstract:
We reported the manifestations, auxiliary examination, and treatment courses of a case of scimitar syndrome with pulmonary sequestration containing carcinoma. The clinical characteristics of scimitar syndrome with pulmonary sequestration, pulmonary sequestration containing carcinoma were summarized based on the data of this case and the related literatures before January 2022. Scimitar syndrome can coexist with ipsilateral pulmonary sequestration. Because sequestered lung tissue has a risk of malignant transformation, a cancer screening test is useful for early diagnosis and timely treatment.
