Infarction of an extralobar pulmonary sequestration in a young child: diagnosis and excision by video-assisted thoracoscopy.
A 4-year-old male presented with abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen was negative, but a pleural effusion and mass was noted in the lower left thorax. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery revealed the mass to be a rare case of extralobar pulmonary sequestration that had undergone infarction.
