Congenital pulmonary malformations associated with esophageal duplication and teratoma: prenatal to postnatal management

J Pediatr Surg. 2008 Jul;43(7):e31-3. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2008.04.013.

Abstract

A unique case is reported of bronchopulmonary foregut malformation with associated benign teratoma. Antenatal Doppler ultrasound scan findings and postnatal management are described. We discuss the appropriate radiologic investigations and the necessity for surgical intervention. The possible embryogenesis is hypothesized.
