A 37-year-old woman, who presented with low grade fever and productive cough, was admitted for evaluation of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray film. On physical examination, she had bilateral hallux valgus and funnel chest, the center of which was at the fifth rib on the right edge of the sternum. Since chest CT scan, selective bronchography, pulmonary arteriography and aortography revealed that she had pulmonary sequestration in the right cardiophrenic region associated with localized cystic bronchiectasis in the right S7b, she received right lower lobectomy. Histological examination showed the cystic change of bronchioli and a small number of emphysematous alveoli in the right S7b adjacent to the sequestered lung. The bronchopulmonary structure of right S7a was almost intact. It might be speculated that the existence of the sequestered lung constituted to the deterioration of the development of the lung and the rib cage adjacent to it.

A 32-year-old female underwent laparoscopic salpingectomy of an ectopic (third) pregnancy under general anaesthesia, at approximately six weeks' amenorrhoea. She developed severe respiratory distress after extubation and died on the second postoperative day. It appears that she had a history of a mild, persistent productive cough for a period of about a month prior to the operation that was attributed to an upper respiratory tract infection. Autopsy demonstrated the presence of a large mediastinal tumour, whose existence was apparently unsuspected preoperatively, encasing the ascending thoracic aorta, aortic arch and the proximal segments of the brachiocephalic and subclavian arteries, and causing extrinsic airway compression. Subsequent microscopic examination showed histological and immunohistochemical features of a mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. It is thought that the mechanical effects exerted by the advanced mediastinal tumour upon the airways and the thoracic cage, coupled with the pathophysiological effects of general anaesthesia on respiratory movement and airway patency, had led to the patient's unfortunate demise in early pregnancy.
