title: [Congenital lung hypoplasia in adulthood].
abstract: This is a report on a largely asymptomatic patient with a unilaterally non-functional lung. The differential diagnosis between an acquired, "destroyed" lung and congenital hypoplasia of the lung with secondary inflammatory changes proves difficult. The various imaging procedures that are available, used in conjunction with the histological findings, permit a classification.
