Intralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with a bronchogenic cyst in an elderly woman: A case report
The coexistence of Bronchogenic Cyst (BC) and Intralobar Pulmonary Sequestration (ILS) is a rare condition, with only a few cases documented. This case highlights the complexity of diagnosing these pulmonary malformations and suggests a potential shared congenital origin, challenging previous theories that ILS arises from chronic inflammation. Further studies are needed to elucidate the embryological link between these malformations and their clinical implications.
