Introduction: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration [ILS] is overall the most common form of Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) commonly presenting as consolidation in the lower lung lobes. Methods: A young male (23 years) presented with hemoptysis and a large cavity with air fluid level in the left lower lung lobe for 6-7 years. Computed Tomography of chest and bronchoscopy were inconclusive an...

Purpose: Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital lung malformation. It is characterized by an abnormal mass of dysplastic lung tissue supplied by an anomalous systemic artery and separated from normal bronchopulmonary tree. Misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment can lead to recurrent pneumonia and fatal hemoptysis. Methods: We report a 45 years female was diagnosed PS, and performed a ...

In addition to the lung tissue formed from the ventral pharyngeal diverticulum which represents the normal lung bud, pulmonary tissue may be formed from any part of the primitive foregut, and at birth is usually found lying in the left lower region of the pleural cavity; to this condition the name of lower accessory lung or extralobar sequestration is given. Such tissue should be distinguished ...

Bronchopulmonary sequestrations are usually supplied by single or multiple branches from the descending aorta. We report on a rare form of sequestration of a hypoplastic mid-pulmonary lobe with arterial supply from the circumflex coronary artery coincidentally discovered during coronary angiography in a female patient with coronary artery disease and a history of recurrent hemoptysis. The patie...

Broncho-pulmonary sequestration is a rare anomaly which represents 0.156.4% of all pulmonary malformations.(1, 2) It is defined as the presence of non-functioning lung tissue that is separate from the bronchial system and is supplied by an aberrant artery originating from the aorta or one of its branches (1, 2). Bronchopulmonary sequestration is divided into two types: Intralobar; which shares ...

We report a rare case of a 38-year-old woman with a bronchial carcinoid tumor arising from an intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration. The vascular supply to the sequestered left lower lobe originated from the descending thoracic aorta. A left lower lobe lobectomy was performed. The findings of the pathological examination revealed an atypical carcinoid tumor that was immunopositive for chrom...
