A Rare Case of Right Lower Lobe Intralobar Pulmonary Sequestration in an Adult

Pulmonary sequestration is an embryonic, cystic lung tissue that is supplied by systemic blood circulation. It is a nonfunctional lung parenchyma unconnected to normal tracheobronchial system. In cases of pulmonary sequestration, surgical interventions should be performed in order to prevent possible complications such as massive hemoptysis and infections. Preoperative imaging and treatment planning should be done carefully. We present an uncommon case of recurrent hemoptysis caused by intralobar pulmonary sequestration located in the left lower lobe.

Malignant Lesions

Introduction. Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly and most intralobar sequestrations were located in lower lobes. Case report. We reported an unusual 28-yearold female patient with intralobar pulmonary sequestration on the left lower lobe, successfully treated with lobectomy. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest with intravenous contrast revealed multiple clustered cystic lesions in the left lower lobe with aberrant artery from descedenting aorta. Additional aortography showed an aberrant artery (3 mm in diameter) arising from the abdominal aorta and flowing into the lesion. Conclusion. Standard therapy regimen for pulmonary sequestration includes surgery. CT scan of thorax with intravenous contrast and aortography represent the gold standard for its diagnosis. Tumor-like shadows seen on the chest radiography or CT scans should not be always suspected on malignant lesions.

Lower Airways

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital pulmonary abnormality of the lower airways, which includes an abnormal and non-functioning lung tissue not communicating with the tracheobronchial tree and having aberrant blood supply from systemic circulation with variable venous drainage. The incidence of sequestration is around 0.15%–6.4% of all congenital lung malformations.Common presenting features are cough and expectoration. Misdiagnosed cases may present with recurrent infections and haemoptysis. CT of the chest with contrast is the imaging modality of choice.This is a case report of a 32-year-old woman who presented with cough and haemoptysis. CT of the chest showed a multiloculated mass-like lesion in the left lower lobe with a feeding artery from coeliac plexus and venous drainage via the normal left pulmonary vein.Based on CT chest findings, diagnosis of intralobar pulmonary sequestration was made. The patient was reviewed by cardiothoracic surgeons and underwent surgical resection of the sequestrated lung.Common presenting features are cough and expectoration. Misdiagnosed cases may present with recurrent infections and haemoptysis. CT of the chest with contrast is the imaging modality of choice.
