Answer: Extralobar sequestration
Histology: The histologic section shows relatively immature, but otherwise unremarkable, lung parenchyma.
Discussion: Pulmonary sequestration refers to the situation whereby a portion of lung tissue receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery (Paediatr Respir Rev. 2004 Mar;5(1):59-68.). They can broadly be divided into three types: intralobar, extralobar and communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformations. In this case the sequestration was below the diaphragm but not connected to the esophagus (foregut). It was therefore characterized as an extralobar sequestration.
