BACKGROUND: @entity358 are found in the adult and pediatric populations. We present our 19-year experience with such lesions from a single institution. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed our experience with such lung pathology, comparing the pediatric and adult populations with regard to their spectrum of pathology, presentation, surgical procedures, and postoperative morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: Forty-six operations were performed on 44 @entity1 (24 @entity1 and 20 adults). @entity2977 was the most common pathology in the pediatric group (53.9%), followed equally by simple cysts and sequestrations (15.4%). In three of the pediatric @entity1 malignant features were identified after resection; @entity189 in 2 @entity1 with @entity2977 and @entity8524 in 1 @entity1 with bilateral @entity66 . In the adult population the most common pathology was simple cysts in 8 (40%), followed by @entity2977 in 5 (25%) and sequestrations in 2 @entity1 (10%). The majority of the @entity1 , 16 (61.5%), required operation because of expanding or infected cysts, recurrent cysts, or @entity5837 ; 4 were operated on as an urgent basis. In contrast, the majority of adults 11 (55%) were asymptomatic or had no specific symptoms, and all operations were elective. A larger number of major resections (65.4% versus 55%) were necessary in the pediatric group, possibly due to differences in the pathology. However, morbidity was comparable in the two groups with no mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Operation for @entity9129 is safe. @entity45 in @entity1 should be resected to avoid later complications of the cysts, which could make operation more difficult. @entity1 should be evaluated for associated @entity154 . Conservative anatomic resections should be attempted to salvage functional lung tissue. Careful histologic examination of the resection specimen is mandatory to identify @entity5 .
