Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital respiratory malformation characterized by a cystic or solid mass of nonfunctioning primitive segmental lung tissue that does not communicate with the tracheobronchial tree and has anomalous systemic blood supply. Pulmonary sequestration is classified into two types, extralobar pulmonary sequestration and intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILS). ILS is incorporated within the normal lung tissue and does not have a visceral pleura that separates the lesion from normal lung tissue. Here the 35 pediatric ILS cases treated in our center are summarized first and then we review several clinical reports that dealt with ILS in the past and summarize the characters and treatment of ILS.
