title: De novo circumscribed pulmonary lobar cystic lymphatic anomaly in a young boy. A possible sequela of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
abstract: This report describes a massive pulmonary lymphatic cystic anomaly affecting the right lower lobe of a nine-year-old boy. A year earlier, only an ill-defined small infiltrate could be seen in the affected lobe radiologically. The pathogenesis of this highly unusual lesion is discussed, taking into consideration the possible role of three months of mechanical ventilation in the neonatal period.
