Grey-scale transabdominal ultrasound image of the foetus in a transverse section showing multiple, anechoic structures (white, filled arrows) within the lower lobe of the left lung. The cardia (denoted by 'C') appears to be mildly pushed to the right side.

There was evidence of multiple, anechoic structures noted within the pulmonary tissue in the left hemithorax (Figures 1, 2).
Grey-scale transabdominal ultrasound image of the foetus in a transverse section showing multiple, anechoic structures (white, filled arrows) within the upper lobe of the left lung. These cystic structures, each measuring around 3 to 4 mm in diameter, are communicating with each other. There is no single dominant cyst. The cardia (denoted by 'C') appears to be mildly pushed to the right side.

There was evidence of multiple, anechoic structures noted within the pulmonary tissue in the left hemithorax (Figures 1, 2).
Grey-scale transabdominal ultrasound image of the foetus in a sagittal section showing the multicystic lesion extending from the left lower lobe (denoted by 'L') up to the apical (apicoposterior) segment (denoted by 'A') of the left upper lobe. The diaphragm (white, filled arrows) is continuous along its complete extent. There is no inversion of the left hemidiaphragmatic contour due to the multicystic mass lesion.

This lesion was not restricted to a single segment or lobe as it could be visualized extending from the left lower lobe up to the apical (apicoposterior) segment of the left upper lobe (Figure 3).
Grey-scale transabdominal ultrasound image of the foetus in a transverse section showing normal position of the gastric bubble (asterix) and the liver (denoted by 'L) including the branches of the portal vein (denoted by 'P'). Foetal spine is denoted by 'S' in the image.
