- Abstract
The article analyzes the occurrence of suprarenal mass in a five year old boy. Though his medical tests were normal, tomography and MRI revealed a retroperitoneal pararenal soft tissue mass extending the left surrenal region. The patient was diagnosed with extralobar pulmonary sequestration (ELPS), which is associated with various congenital anomalies. At times ELPS is mistaken for para-spinal or surrenal neoplastic disorders. Laproscopic resection is mostly recommended to treat ELPS.
