Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation. It is characterised by a territory of non-functional bronchopulmonary tissue vascularised by one or more aberrant systemic arteries. We report the case of a 51-year-old man admitted to hospital with recurrent haemoptysis, a thoracic angioscan revealed left lower lobar sequestration by two systemic vessels. The patient was treated with a left lower lobectomy. Pulmonary sequestration remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
