Extralobar Sequestration With a Feeding Vessel Arising from the Pulmonary Artery

Abstract

We herein report a case of an extralobar sequestration with a feeding vessel arising from the pulmonary artery. The patient was born at 36 weeks of gestation after being followed-up for a left pulmonary cystic lesion since 19 weeks of gestation. A 320-row area detector computed tomography at four months showed a mass in his left lung with an aberrant feeding artery branching from the pulmonary artery. He underwent surgery at six months of age. The mass was separated from the normal lungs. The mass was found to be surrounded by its own visceral pleura and a feeding artery branched from the left pulmonary artery and vessels returning to the left superior pulmonary vein. We diagnosed the patient as having extralobar pulmonary sequestration.
