ABSTRACT: A 4 month old boy presented with fever, cough and respiratory distress for 3 weeks. An X-ray of the chest showed a large right-sided lung cyst. The history revealed that an antenatal ultrasound (US) performed at 26-27 weeks gestation had shown a cystic lesion in the right lung. Surgical excision of an intralobar bronchogenic cyst (BC) involving the middle lobe of the right lung was curative. A brief review of the literature is presented.
