Infra-diaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration: Radiologic features

Abstract

Infra-diaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestrations (EPS) is a rare diagnosis that can mimic other intra-abdominal pathologies. While numerous case reports have demonstrated similarities in imaging findings and characteristics, definitive diagnosis is still often made via surgical intervention. We describe a case of radiological diagnostic uncertainty in a patient with intra-abdominal EPS in which surgical intervention was a necessity.
