Congenital lung and mediastinal lesions were found in 52 (48\%) cases. Overall, 23 cases were males (44\%) and 29 (56\%) were females. The most common histopathology was congenital lobar emphysema.Conclusion: This study provides a 21-year review of the clinical and histopathological features of resected congenital lung and mediastinal lesions in a single center. Congenital lung and mediastinal lesions represented 48\% of all resected lesions.}, issn = {0379-5284}, URL = {https://smj.org.sa/content/42/2/209}, eprint = {https://smj.org.sa/content/42/2/209.full.pdf}, journal = {Saudi Medical Journal} }
