Pulmonary cysts in right lung are slightly more common than in the left one. Understanding the nature of cavitary lesion is one of the most difficult problem in pulmonology. Basic diagnostics of cysts is radiological methods.Clinical Case Description. The child (11 y 10 m) was diagnosed with pulmonary cyst in the right lung with local pneumothorax and alongside with congenital developmental brain malformation and symptomatic epilepsy.
