Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital anomaly of respiratory system and usually diagnosed in childhood but can present at any at age. It frequently presents as a mediastinal mass with symptoms from vascular shunting, or associated anatomic defects. This case report describes an adult who presented with chest pain due to extralobar sequestration of right lung extending into the mediastinum. Per-operatively it was found to be an extra pulmonary mass lesion with a peduncle attached to right lung suggestive of extralobar sequestration. Histopathological examination of the specimen showed it to be spindle cell tumor (fibrosarcoma) in sequestrated lung. The patient had an uneventful recovery and is under regular follow up without any further problems.
