View detailsBronchopulmonary sequestration
Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a congenital anomaly characterized by the formation of an accessory lobe or segment of lung tissue that is separated from the normal tracheobronchial tree and receives its blood supply from the systemic circulation. This disease is common in adolescents. The main symptoms include cough, fever, purulent sputum, and hemoptysis.
Congenital mediastinal cyst
The mediastinum is the region between the two lungs, extending vertically. It contains the trachea, bronchi, esophagus, and heart. Therefore, mediastinal cysts include tracheal cysts, bronchial cysts, esophageal cysts, gastrointestinal cysts, pericardial cysts, and others. Regardless of their location, all mediastinal cysts are benign tumors. The main symptoms vary depending on the location of the cyst.

View detailsPectus excavatum
Pectus excavatum is named for its characteristic chest wall depression, where the sternum and adjacent costal cartilages sink inward, forming a funnel-shaped deformity. The cause of pectus excavatum is not yet clear, but the most important reason may be abnormal development of the sternum, ribs, or diaphragm. In addition, congenital genetic defects, hereditary diseases, and pathological factors can also lead to pectus excavatum. Males are more susceptible to the condition than females, and individuals with a family history of pectus excavatum are more likely to develop it themselves.
