Agenesis of the Lung

Department of Thoracic Surgery, The General Infirmary at Leeds

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

1. A case of "Agenesis of the Lung" in a healthy child is described.

2. The condition is not recognisable as a result of ordinary clinical examination and is dependent on radio-graphs and a bronchogram.

3. The main features, clinical and pathological, of "Agenesis of the Lung" are described. The occurrence of associated abnormalities is a common feature of the condition, and the case described provides an excellent example of this.

4. It is suggested that "agenesis" is a primary condition due to an error of development in the germ-plasm.
