The continuum of pulmonary developmental anomalies.
The classic features of six common pulmonary developmental anomalies have been presented. In addition, several overlap cases, each demonstrating features of more than one anomaly, have been illustrated. Such cases serve to emphasize that pulmonary developmental anomalies exist as a continuum, often frustrating our attempts at discrete classification. Future advances in pulmonary embryology may further elucidate the pathogenesis of these entities.
