Local fat infiltration of the thoracic cavity is a rare initial presentation of Bochdalek hernia. We report a case of Bochdalek hernia in a child with leukemia that demonstrated initial local fat infiltration of the thoracic cavity on computed tomography scan and progressed to an obvious diaphragmatic hernia on subsequent follow-up. We suggest that initial local fat infiltration of the thoracic cavity on computed tomography scan may indicate a potential diaphragmatic hernia.
胸腔局部脂肪浸润是Bochdalek疝罕见的初始表现。我们报告一例患有白血病的儿童Bochdalek疝病例，该病例在计算机断层扫描中显示出胸腔初始局部脂肪浸润，并在随后的随访中发展为明显的膈疝。我们认为计算机断层扫描中胸腔初始局部脂肪浸润可能提示潜在的膈疝。
