Surgical treatment of congenital cystic lung disease -Report of 47 cases-

Congenital Cystic Lung Disease is a spectrum of closed related anomalies that arise during an early stage of embryonic lung bud maturation-namely bronchogenic cyst, congenital lobar emphysema, pulmonary sequestration and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. And they show similar surgical strategies. So they are called as the term bronchopulmonary-foregut malformations, firstly proposed by Gerle[1968]. From Aug. 1979 to Aug 1989, 47 patients were operated upon on Dept. of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery at the CUMC. There were 21 females and 26 males ranging in age from age of 21 day to age of 56 year [15 cases under 15 years old]. 30 patients had bronchogenic cysts - 23 of intrapulmonary type, 7 of mediastinal type in location. Affected lobes and locations were as follows: 11 in upper lobe, 3 in middle lobe, 11 in lower lobe and anterosuperior, middle, and posterior mediastinal type were 3, 2, 2 respectively. There were 9 pulmonary sequestrations[all intralobar type] with the distribution of 5 in right lower lobe and 4 in left lower lobe. And associated anomalies were presented with arterial supply originating from thoracic aorta[8 cases], abdominal aorta[1 case] and with venous drainage into azygos vein[1 case]. They all were operated upon lower lobectomy [8 case], pneumonectomy[1 case] in case of pulmonary hypoplasia Congenital lobar emphysema and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation had 4 cases respectively. Their affected lobes were as follows: the former were 3 in upper lobes, 1 in middle lobe and the latter were 3 in upper lobe, 1 in lower lobe. They were treated with lobectomy and segmentectomy. Diagnosis was aided by chest X - ray, bronchography, aortography, DSA and CT scan, They all were confirmed by pathologic exams. There were no hospital death but few minor morbidities such as, atelectasis-pneumonia[2], wound infection[2], prolonged chest tube placement[2]. We experienced surgical treatments of 47 cases for 10 years and reported them with literature review.
