[Retention cysts of the lungs in children].

The authors has 34 children with retention cysts of the lungs under observation. The most frequent localization of the cyst is the anterior segment of the superior lobe (20), central localization is characteristic of retention cysts. The disease must be differentiated first of all from tuberculosis. Not in all cases is this an easy problem. Before admission to the surgical clinic 16 children were given specific therapy for a long time. Two children had a suppurating cyst. The diagnosis of the cyst is based on careful study of the medical history and the characteristic findings of radiography and tomography of the chest. All of the children were operated on. The volume of the operation was determined by the condition of the surrounding segments. Segmentectomy was the most frequently performed operation.
