[Intralobar sequestration of the lungs].

The paper deals with 6 cases of intralobar pulmonary sequestration that is a rare developmental defect accompanied by other anomalies and tumors. In 4 cases, the diagnosis was made on the basis of X-ray and bronchologic examinations before surgery, in 2 cases, during the surgery. The morphologic features were found to be cystic formations accompanied by chronic inflammation in the lung tissue, cylindrical brochiectasis along with celomic cyst of the pericardium and microcarcinoid in the cyst wall.
