April Case of the Month
Clinical History: A 2-month-old male child was found to have a thoracic mass on prenatal ultrasound. Postnatal imaging was consistent with pulmonary sequestration. Computed tomography of the chest showed a 3.9-cm posterior mediastinal mass (Figures 1 and 2) extending into the infra-diaphragmatic region displacing the aorta without luminal compromise. Pulmonary sequestration was felt to be the most likely diagnosis, with retroperitoneal neuroblastoma as the less likely differential diagnostic consideration. The mass was surgically excised. H&E images are shown in Figures 3-6Click here to see more.
