This case report details a 49-year-old male with intralobar pulmonary sequestration, an abnormal lung tissue. Surgical removal of the affected right lower lobe was successful, with an uneventful recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital lung malformation characterized by non-functional lung tissue with systemic arterial supply.
  • Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is the most common type, where the abnormal tissue is within the visceral pleura of a normal lung lobe.

Observation:

  • A 49-year-old male presented with symptoms of fever, cough, and sputum production.
  • Sputum culture revealed significant growth of Aspergillus niger.
  • Angiography identified an anomalous systemic artery originating from the abdominal aorta supplying the right lower lobe.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with intralobar pulmonary sequestration.
  • Surgical resection via right lower lobectomy was performed to address the condition.

  • Postoperative recovery was uneventful, indicating successful management.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering pulmonary sequestration in adult patients with recurrent respiratory infections.
    • Accurate diagnosis through imaging modalities like angiography is crucial for surgical planning.
    • Surgical intervention remains the definitive treatment for symptomatic pulmonary sequestration.
