Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a form of congenital pulmonary malformation that is uncommonly diagnosed during adulthood. Pulmonary sequestrations can manifest with variable presentations. It can remain asymptomatic or present with more severe symptoms such as hemoptysis and recurrent pneumonia. The main feature of this disease is that partial lung tissues separate from the main lung during the embryonic period, receiving blood supply from systemic circulation arteries. We report a case of a 39 year old men smoker with medical history characterized by frequent infections since childhood, chest pain and hemoptysis. CT scan showed a partial PS of left lower lobe, supplied by an abnormal artery arising from descending aorta. Surgical treatment through a lung sequestrectomy and basal lobectomy resection was performed.
