Abstract
An abnormal chest X-ray shadow was pointed out in a 42-year-old woman in 1987. She was admitted to our hospital in 1990. Her chief complaints were cough, sputum and fever. Since the aortogram demonstrated anomalous artery originating from the aorta and flowing into the right lower lobe, this case was diagnosed as pulmonary sequestration. At thoracomy, the anomalous artery was found within the pulmonary ligament. The vessel was cut, and right lower lobectomy was performed. The angiogram of the surgical specimen revealed that the anomalous artery was confined to the mass. This case was diagnosed as Pryce type 1. The patient has been free of the disease three years after the operation.
