Abstract :
Bronchopulmonary foregut malformations are a heterogeneous but interrelated group of abnormalities that may contain more
than one histologic feature. It is helpful to be familiar with the presentation and imaging features of bronchopulmonary foregut
malformations presenting as a congenital mass or mass-like lesion, as imaging plays a central role in the evaluation of these lesions
since, when symptomatic, clinical features are usually nonspecific. With imaging, the presence of other associated lesions can be
determined, facilitating appropriate management to prevent the potential complications. We report a case of coexisting extralobar
pulmonary sequestration and ipsilateral diaphragmatic hernia in a term neonate.
