  • Title: [Intralobar pulmonary sequestration treated by resection of the sequestrated segment].
    Author: Kambayashi T, Suzuki T.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2011 Nov; 64(12):1082-5. PubMed ID: 22187869.
    Abstract:
    Segmentectomy including the sequestrated segment and lobectomy are generally performed for intralobar pulmonary sequestration. We report a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration of Pryce type III treated by resection of only the sequestrated segment. A 57-year-old man presented with a 5 x 3 cm mass shadow overlapping a cardiac shadow on the left lower lung field on chest radiograph at medical examination. The mass was not connected with the bronchial tree, and was supplied by an aberrant artery arising from the thoracic descending aorta. The mass was suspected to exist in the normal visceral pleura from chest images. The mass was suspected to be an intralobar pulmonary sequestration from the abovementioned findings, and we performed an operation. At the beginning of the procedure, after dissecting the aberrant artery, only the sequestrated segment was performed.
