Abstract
An intraabdominal extrathoracic pulmonary sequestration (IEPS) was detected by prenatal ultrasound in a fetus of 19 weeks' gestation. The well-defined echogenic mass, including multiple cystic areas, was located in the left s uprarenal region. Knowledge of the characteristic ultrasound appearance hel ped to differentiate between neuroblastoma and IEPS before surgical treatme nt. Histologic examination showed an association between IEPS and features of cystic adenomatoid malformation type 2.
